What is cyberbullying?

Cyberbulling.. Making people feel like harassed, or stalked.
Unfortunately, some people on social media think that they have rights to make fun of the others in a bad way- by bulling. There are some examples in NYTimes' post "In September, a federal appeals court in Nevada, for instance, sided with school officials who suspended a high school sophomore for threatening, through messages on Myspace, to shoot classmates. In 2011, an Indiana court ruled that school officials had violated the Constitution when they disciplined students for posting pictures on Facebook of themselves at a slumber party, posing with rainbow-colored lollipops shaped like phalluses." Controlling these kind of things is very difficult but I agree with the writer about keeping balance for rights of students' free speeches against the dangers of cyberbulling. "Educators find themselves needing to balance students’  rights of free speeches against the dangers children can get into at school and sometimes with the law because of what they say in posts on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr"

Legal and Ethical Issues

 Should information be free? At the first sight, yes it should be. Every people should be able to reach open-access information easily and for free like journal articles, tv, news, movies, music, and so on. Especially in today's world, it is really difficult to hide or keep private something as long as we have the Internet. However, I belive that there should be a privacy for some informations which is related with government or even the people who created something for public with their ability or their skill. For example, when you download a movie or music for free, it is actually betrayal of labor to the owner/ creator of this art. In New York Times they say "On the other were governments and corporations that argued that some information must be kept private for security or commercial reasons." I totally agree with that. People should respect copyright.

Privacy and Security

 Internet is incredibly complex. There is always a way to reach someone's information via Internet and privacy becomes more uncontrollable when you integrated your all social networks with each other. Danah Boyd and Alice Marwick say that  in their articles "Many of our fears and concern regarding safety stem from the ways in which the Internet uncovers many things that we were previously hidden".It may not be true for all people but I agree with that it works like that for many people, called 'fear of privacy'. People can not control their privacy since the Internet is getting more and more evolved day by day.
 Facebook is very popular all over the world. More than most people have an account on Facebook even if they do not use regularly. And when you post a photo on Facebook, your privacy settings may not be enough to hide it from people who are not friend with you on Facebook. Even the sister of Facebook's founder got that problem as they said in the Atlantic Wire "don't expect to hide something if you do — everything can be shared and re-shared these days".
