Every day is a challenge for all with the constant flow of negative news about the horrors of human behavior. For everyone's mental health, a balanced view of the world should be maintained and there is a strong belief that most people are basically good.
Unfortunately, in the age of the Internet, when information comes in a series, it is very difficult to maintain our beliefs. Every now and then there are so many new ways of behaving badly. For example, have you heard of a new form of cyberbullying called "Revenge Porn" or in Greek "revenge porn?" Have you heard a story that might need intervention from the beginning?
What is revenge porn?
When I first heard about revenge porn, my first response was, “Really? For those who do not know, porn revenge is the online posting of annoying content, nude photos and videos of an ex-lover or ex-spouse - without his or her consent. The post often contains the victim's name, address, phone number, and various other information.
Unfortunately, cases of porn revenge are becoming more common and some brave victims report what happened to them, asking the authorities to take action.
Some US states, such as California, now have laws and this type of activity is criminally hellish. But advocates say the California law doesn't go far enough because it doesn't protect “selfies"( photos or videos taken by the same person) that someone reposts for malicious intent.
Opponents of the New Laws
On the other hand, the Americans for Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Electronic Frontier Foundation state that this type of legislation may be going too far. They oppose these and other potential restrictions on the grounds that the laws may violate the First Amendment.
Πώς η μη εξουσιοδοτημένη online δημοσίευση γυμνών φωτογραφιών, μπορεί να θεωρηθεί “ελευθερία του λόγου” αυτό είναι ένα θέμα που θα πρέπει να το ξανασκεφτούμε. Μάλλον υπάρχει ο εύλογος φόβος του να πάρει ο νόμος τον “κατήφορο”, και όπως κάθε νόμος αυτού του είδους μπορεί να usesfor the slightest thing and reach abusive levels.
So what can you do to avoid becoming a victim?
It does not matter what happens at the state or federal level if one does not think of protecting it when online, because we can be our worst enemy.
It's easy for someone to get a naked selfie and share it without fear of possible consequences. The easier it is to cast it on the victim, which has made the jammer raise such pictures, especially at this time.
We are all human and that explains the mistakes on the part of the victim, perhaps even the malicious behavior. For this very reason we should think very hard before publishing something that might offend Results if it falls into the wrong hands.
