Cyber Ethics
I just read this on a magazine and I cant believe how far a person can do when it comes to cyber bullying and stalking. When i was just starting to explore this so-called "Cyberworld", everything was just so amazing, convenient and easy. The internet is such a big help to the society. You can just imagine when will books become obsolete in the near future. But being internet savvy, are we safe to explore more? Are we opening ourselves to the possibility of being stalked(unknowingly)around the world?Are we safe to say that internet is the fastest fad and we have to keep up with it?
As i finished reading the article, it explains why all along some profiles I've (browsingly) seen, was on a private mode and not for everyone to see publicly. Before, i was curious why profiles are set on private. For me, it was just plain stupidity. I can justify to the thought that being part of this cyberworld made anyone,everyone and even Someone to be publicly seen. What i mean is" kung naa naman lang ka gani dri sa internet na makita sa tanan, nganu i butang paman jud sa private ang profile dba? diba, stupid kaayu na" but before anyone attacks me on this issue(hehehe), i now understand their prerogative and their concept about being an internet citizen. There are just a lot of people out there who will go out of their way just to bully and stalk innocent cyber citizens. Im talking about extremely sick nothing-to-do-with-their-lives people. If you think about it, maybe they just sit all day infront of their PC's, bullying,stalking,laughing,obssessing,slothing and such improper, rude netiquettes. And there are also some out there who are mentally ill. So far, being an internet citizen myself, no one has ever bullied me here. or no one has attempted to. I am also very careful when dealing with such new and unfamiliar people. I,for a fact, dont accept(for the sake of being friends online) people who im not acquainted with. Somehow we just have to be responsible with meeting the so called "online buddy". except for the reasons that this online buddy of yours is a friend of a friend. Like there has to be somewhat a connection to why and who you were online buddying with. know what i mean? Its like having a boundary for meeting such. I even have my fair share of buddying but there's got to be some connection from where and not just someone who pops into your screen and wants to be your friend. We are never too careful u know. Somehow, we have to be responsible for ourselves and our actions. You never know, someone already has gotten, imitated your pictures for his/her benefit. or worst, someone has hacked into your account and completely changed or destroyed your websites. Now thats what i call, intervention of rights. The right of a person to post anything and everything whenever s/he wants to.

Keeping one's profile under lock is the safest way to avoid people from stealing your photos, blogs and making sure it does not land in the wrong hands.
