The topic “Ethics, Privacy, Porn (Revenge) and Terrorism” covers a lot of the material under one discussion. The reading material provided was quite impressive and informative in order to understand this topic and make a discussion on it.

Let’s begin the discussion with the article: “Social Media Spreads terrorism and Propaganda” opened up a discussion about how Uzbek immigrant Sayfullo Saipov has been charged with the death of eight people after ploughing them into the truck in downtown in Manhattan. He was also stand accused of “providing material support and resources” to the terror group ISIS.

The author further added that: “The link between online ISIS propaganda — easily found on a variety of social media platforms — and the death of eight people is linear and clear. A guy found some crazy stuff on a site, like we all do – regardless often of whether we even want to or not.”

The second article i.e. “Should Reddit be Blamed for the Spreading of a Smear?” was another article which is based on the spreading of terrorism through the internet. In this article, the detail discussion was made on the topic that the impact on the Sunil Tripath’s family as a result of the false identification of their son in the Boston Marathon bombing. It was a large article that comes to the simple conclusion: Maybe. Because there was misidentification on Reddit and no evidences were shown that goes against him. But what happened to that person and to his family was questionable.

What are your opinions on this topic?

Coming towards the next article i.e. “Why Privacy Matters Even If You Have ‘Nothing to Hide’” is a debate that does the privacy really matters or it is only taken under consideration when a person has done something wrong and want to hide it from the world? The author has further added that: “The nothing-to-hide argument speaks to some problems but not to others. It represents a singular and narrow way of conceiving of privacy, and it wins by excluding consideration of the other problems often raised with government security measures.”

He further said that: “Commentators often attempt to refute the nothing-to-hide argument by pointing to things people want to hide. But the problem with the nothing-to-hide argument is the underlying assumption that privacy is about hiding bad things.”

And the last article: “Why Revenge Porn is Really F*cked Up” was covered the whole of the discussion topic here. The social activist and YouTube star made a charge against his ex-boyfriend when her boyfriend made a video of her and spread it on many of the porn websites. I felt so sorry about her and I think that every girl must be strong enough to stand up against the humiliations and assaults if they have to face. The author further added that “Chambers’ reported her ex to the Atlanta police for rape, but, unsurprisingly, they decided not to press charges. That’s when Chambers made the brave decision to seek out justice in the UK. Because her ex had posted the videos while in Britain, she could still bring charges against him as they related to the revenge pornography.”

I really did not understand the mentality of the men who think that by doing such a shameful act they would become so famous or able escape easily. They need to understand that this not only made them guilty of charge but also is a shame for their families. I do not consider such men as humans but the animals who do not think while responding.

I am going to share a news article on the same topic i.e. “Revenge porn new normal’ after cases surge in lockdown”. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-54149682
