As time moves forward Authentic Miguel Sano Jersey , it seems that man’s ingenuity leads to exponential advances in technology. The term technology suggests the ability to perform tasks using innovative tools, methods and knowledge. Ideally, advances are tempered with responsibility. Over recent years, however, online violations of privacy, slander, and character assassination have reached a troubling intensity. Almost daily, there have been high-profile accounts of people who were seriously injured and some who have actually died due to malicious treatments mostly using internet technologies.


It would appear that this rapidly evolving and very-much unregulated area would invite more government regulation. Then perhaps lawmakers need more time to grasp the severity and direction of this challenge. A study by the Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse found that lawmakers are not as conscious of their own online images as they should be. The study attempted to focus the attention of lawmakers on cybersquatters. Cybersquatters are individuals who buy up domain names and then use them to extract money Authentic Max Kepler Jersey , misrepresent individuals, and otherwise engage in malice. In a recent article, Mark Lacey (2010) quoted the counsel for Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign. Counsel Matthew Sanderson said that cybersquatters “do it for profit”. “They do it for spite. They do it to broadcast criticisms. They do it out of egotism or to indulge their idea of fun.”


Humble Trumps Passive


Online malice and snooping remain mostly legal, and yes, some find them fun. Unfortunately, emerging laws can’t keep pace with the complexity of abuses and the advancement of technology. Discussions regarding proposed legislation in Missouri got the attention of lawmakers in Illinois and other places (McDermott, 2007). A Missouri proposal emerged after a child committed suicide after being harassed via MySpace. Illinois aimed to address any cyber activity potentially harmful to the health, safety or welfare of a minor. Virginia law recognizes that slander and liable are both defamatory and can be made through various web-based mediums Authentic Matt Belisle Jersey , including email, blogs, forums, video and chat.


The current state of online communications has been likened to the early American West; mysterious, unsettled, and dangerous. This is particularly plausible given that anonymity is the norm. In this conversation, humble is good, but passive is not. Given the serious and permanent consequences of online malice Authentic Kirby Puckett Jersey , the average American citizen must seriously consider steps to establish, monitor and protect internet image.


Fairness and Responsibility Matter


Once again anonymity presents a unique concern. Traditionally, decision-makers and workplace supervisors considered anonymous comments about their organizations or employees to be non-credible. Increasingly, leaders are allowing such comments to significantly influence decisions. Certainly this is partly due to the fact that anonymous content on the internet can be viewed by very large audiences. In a typical race net communications event there is a net control operator usually at a central location. This central location is usually either manned by or connected to in some way race organizers, medical help, police, etc.. Ways to connect to these resources may be via other ham radios including either base stations, mobiles (in cars) or handheld radios that we hams call “HT’s” for handy talkies.
