Soraya Chemaly, a media critic and activist for Time, writes about how hacking is a hate crime. The majority of the celebrity hackings in 2014 were women and there hasn’t been a discussion in terms of gender-based hate, and why there aren’t pictures of men involved in the hackings. Chemaly argues that the

These celebrities support the allegation of how this action was very illegal and that these pictures were not meant to be reposted. To show how supportive these celebrities were, Marcus posted screenshots of Twitter posts from these celebrities stating how the privacy of these women was violated. Celebrities who were part of the nude photo hacks made some of these Twitter posts. It is true that these women had a right to take these kinds of pictures because it came from their own cameras or smartphones, but the people who posted this pictures had no right to post them online because that is considered stealing, as did some celebrities state in their Tweets. Comments such as “Don’t take nude photos if you don’t want them leaked” (Marcus) was said to be an invalid argument because it didn’t matter if they took the pictures or not. What was important is that these kinds of slurs shouldn’t be targeted towards women who had a right to their own privacy. This Huffington Post article provides support for my research question because it provides opinions and original posts from journalists around the world. Using The Huffington Post supports and confirms the research I’m still learning …show more content…
Lydia Warren of MAILONLINE wrote an article on how the ex-boyfriend of a well-respected California high school teacher sent private nude photos of the teacher to hundreds of students and faculty members to the school the teacher was teaching at. The livid ex-boyfriend sent the nude photos as an act of revenge because their relationship was called to an end. This confirms my research on the mental and emotional element of why people sought out judgmental comments. This was an act of revenge and it can happen to about anyone. Warren states that the teacher is so respected at the school that there was a petition to “Save Mr. Rosa” (Warren) because everyone saw that this was a hate crime. One does not have to be a celebrity or a female for their nude photos to be shown publicly. The reactions of the society in Rosa’s environment were in his favor because he was a “good person” (Warren). Society’s perceptions of whether the person is good or bad reflects on their reactions to the

    In Simon Sebastian’s article “He Was Abused by a Female Teacher, but Was Treated like a Perpetrator”, a female teacher sexually abused her male student, but she was viewed as the victim. This article addresses the double standard in courtrooms that let the teacher get off with such a short prison sentence. Sebastian states that the seriousness of teacher-student sexual abuse on a male victim by a female teacher is not understood by some because it is believed that male students do not mind being sexually harassed by a woman because they are driven by raging hormones at such a young age. The student was bullied when he went to school because people were convinced that he had ruined “the poor girl’s life”. The student had his car vandalized with hateful messages and shapes of male genitalia bleached into the front yard of his home.…

    In the article “The Internet is a surveillance state”, which appeared on CNN.com on March 16, 2013, Bruce Schneier claims the government can see our every move on the internet.

    As supported by Harris’s experiments, the loss of privacy that we perceive when we use the Internet occurs in part because, like Michael Foucault claims, being under constant surveillance in a panoptic environment causes people to constantly feel watched and in part because, like Saadi Lahlou claims, people are forced to reveal information and act in a setting in which they normally would…

I will also consider the opposing position that Anonymous are bad and unethical. I will argue that it is mistaken because of misknowledge of the operations and what Anonymous’ purpose is.…

    Though both legally and culturally, no-one person can outright express sexuality without tyranny, yet these very same people can speak on religion or politics without penalty. However, there are no rules that address ones ability to bring pictures of war victims or genocide into classrooms. Rubin’s ability to showcase these double standards provides her argument with the ability to connect the various sexual orientations and genders of her audience. It also provides her audience with instances of oppression, even if they have yet to experience them personally. Her ability to express the inequalities of standards grants her argument a strong foundation Rubin says, “Like gender, sexuality is political.…

    In our modern day society, individuals are actively on the internet, exposing themselves in every aspect unknowingly. We are oblivious to who is watching and collecting our information. Many of us are oblivious to how far the government is willing to go to uncover any secrets or imminent threats. In Peter Singer’s essay, Visible Man, we explore how we have currently encircled ourselves in an environment that calculates our every choice and action because we constantly reveal our information. Singer explains how we have deliberately invited the government into our private lives.…
