- Facebook’s marketing director, who happens to be Mark Zuckerberg’s sister, proposed last year that banning online anonymity would help curtail cyber-bullying and Internet harassment. Then-Google CEO Eric Schmidt made a similar observation in year 2010, noting that “privacy is incredibly important” but “not the same thing as anonymity.” If banning is already imposed or will be imposed would this stop annoying comments against someone freely posted by an anonymous FB user? Is this ethical? Is this against the freedom of speech? Support your answer.
If banning will be imposed I think this would help lessen but not completely stop annoying comments against someone by an anonymous FB user. There are many fb users who still post annoying comments about someone even though their real identity is revealed. If someone has really the will of posting annoying comments about anyone then posting annoying comments and at the same time revealing your real identity is really not a hindrance. I think it’s ethical to banned anonymity when using facebook. For me this does not contradicts the freedom of speech because you still have the freedom to say anything you want as long as you’ll not violate anyone’s rights.
2. Is it ethical to blog both awful and pleasant experiences with your ex-girlfriend / ex-boyfriend? Discuss.
I think it’s unethical to blog your experiences with your ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend. Whether it’s about awful or even pleasant experiences for so long that you don’t have the permission of exposing to the World Wide Web your past experiences together with your ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend is very unethical. But of course who would give you permission to post in your blog information that may cause trouble to them. The information that you might post in your blog may cause trouble to the involved persons or parties. You might be sued in the future because of the things you’ve posted in your blog, so for safety purposes you should be careful and ask for appropriate permission.
