Q: With so many cell phones on the market today able to take photos (and video), do you ever worry about being “captured” in a not-so-flattering moment? How would you deal with a friend who decided to share such a picture or video with others?
The simple answer is: Yes! After reading chapter one, it scares me to think how a person can gain access and follow you through bits without ever having to physically follow you. There are so many celebrities who try to live a private life but there is always someone who is more money hungry than the next that will exploit them in any way possible. In addition to that, there are also many social celebrity blogging websites such as Perezhilton, that post unflattering pictures, especially if Perez is not a huge fan of that celebrity. If i were captured in a not so flattering moment and it was posted on facebook for example, I don't know if there is anything you can legally do because once a picture/video is posted on facebook it doesn't matter if you delete it. Facebook now legally owns it and can do what they wish. This phenomenon might make it extremely hard for many people, especially politicians to get jobs in the future.

It seems that some follow a different code of morality online than they have person to person. Agree? Disagree?
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I think people become more confident when they can hide behind a computer screen and judge people. Its much easier to write about controversial issues than to speak them publically because people can't always put a face to the name.
