What can be problematic about social networking sites?
- Are there ethical guidelines for what you can and cannot say or publish on such sites?
Tasks
Are you a member of one or more social networking sites? Make a brief survey in class to find out which social networking the students are using.
- If it’s possible to have profiles with different degrees of openness, you can also check what is more common: An open or a closed profile.
Check the end user license agreement (EULA). Who owns the pictures you publish, and who can use them?
- Is the social networking site offering help if you need to remove offending material that has been posted by someone else?
