This week’s unlecture raised important points regarding media law about what you are blogging and commenting about. To me this seems pretty straight forward; don’t involve yourself in slander or child pornography right? As if I’d ever do anything like that, so surely I have nothing to worry about? But media laws obviously go a lot further than that.

I did some research and took a particular interest in affliction and Social Media. As a Facebook and Instagram user I observe tasteless comments mindlessly posted about sensitive issues on social media on a daily basic.
Anonymity has become a powerful force for individuals who believe that they can hind behind a screen making them feel invincible and invisible. However on sites like Facebook, with our real identities reveals, individuals still misbehave believing that what happens on the internet will stay on the internet.

So the big question that I want to know is why we are often so aggressive online? I believe it is because we are less reserved or self-conscious because we do not see the reaction of the person that are being address of offended online.
People need to remember that they communicate online they are still speaking out loud.

Although technology is changing society, social rules still exist. There is nothing new under the sun!
