Cyber Bullying

Cyber bullying is to bully an individual mentally or physically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening purpose over the internet. We can prevent cyber bullying by raising awareness, counselling and talking out. According to the case of Audrie Pott, "Collaborating with our parents, students, staff and community, we will continue to work diligently to maintain a positive climate at our high schools based on respect, responsibility, and open communication that discourages cyber bullying and inappropriate conduct," Mistele said. I agree with Mistele that in the cases of cyber bullying it helps if we maintain a positive climate especially in high schools because teenagers are getting more cyber bullied these days because of the more use of social media websites.

Legal and Ethical Issues

Copyright vs. Legal Access

During the case of Mr.Swartz, On one side were activists like Mr. Swartz and advocacy groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Students for Free Culture. On the other were governments and corporations that argued that some information must be kept private for security or commercial reasons.I think it should be free for the music because it doesn't have any thing private or confidential but when it comes to movies I think they shouldn't be free since the directors spend so much money on it. But if we go back to the case, I agree with both sides arguments that it should be free but there has to be some limitations because of the security.

Privacy and Internet Cite

According to The Atlantic Wire, "People still retain copyright to photos that they post on Facebook." Mark Zuckerberg's sister's picture went leaked through online cite even though there are facebook privacy setting. This shows that there is no such thing as privacy on the internet related cites.

According to our fourth Amendment, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." However, since the internet cites are world wide and easily accessable, there is no such thing as privacy and security online. According to the Article of Interformation Privacy, it's either the person have privacy or either they have security.  It's really difficult to have both at the same time because of the worldwide use of internet.
