What would you do and how would you feel if a picture of you would appear on the internet without your permission? With today technologies, taking a picture of someone without them noticing can be really easy. You just have to pretend you are looking at something on your cell phone and actual take a picture of the person in front of you. This scenario poses a very important ethical dilemma for internet users.Websites like youtube.com make it very easy for an individual to post a video on the internet but what about it’s content, has that content been put on the web with the consent of the person’s who was filmed, should the individuals who use the internet have free reign on it’s content. These are only a few questions concerning the Internet that are prevalent today.
I firmly believe that no one should be aloud to post videos or pictures without the consent of the persons who was filmed or who had his picture taken. Those pictures or films can sometimes be intimate and private or they can be down right embarrassing. It is too difficult for a government agency to monitor such things, therefore it falls on the individual to show some restraint and not put things on the internet without the consent of all the parties involved.
