Social Media and Privacy

This article proves that social media is being used in more of a negative way than a positive way. Before any social media was available, nothing like this could happen. There was no way that someones life could be ruined because of one unfortunate even that happened to them. It is horrible to hear that there are bystanders and fellow friends of a victim that laugh and post the photo or video online for the public to see. It seems to me that not many people have morals anymore. The fact that they go so low to ruin someones life is sickening. The people that share these posts should put themselves in the victims shoes and see how they would like to be humiliated like that. I think that no one ever should have to go through this. Although I do think that no one should put their selves in a situation that an event like this would happen, sometimes it does and they should not be at fault.

What bothers me is that when a victim takes their life because an event that ruined their life, the bystanders and "friends" that were originally laughing and sharing stories about it, come and say sorry. It is way too late for them to say sorry. They should not have acted like this in the first place. Why feel bad after the person took their life because of you? People should feel bad in the beginning and never let anything like this happen. If one really feels bad about the situation, then prevent it right when it starts, do not drag it on.

I do not think that it is right to show these videos or photos to the public as a sort of justice. There are other ways to raise awareness of rape and to try and prevent it. For example you could make seminars at schools. I think what everyone should know is that this will never stop unless people become more ethical. It starts with every single individual making better choices. Then eventually we can become better as a community and prevent this from happening.
