Which issue do you think that we could include more supporting information, #1: Uploading photos without permission or #4 Finding a USB Device? I'm at a block with both. I think that both would be good topics. What is due for the project for this week?
I was trying to figure out what was due for the group project this week as well.
ReplyDelete1. create blog & add members of group & Professor
2. Choose topic for discussion & paper
3. drop box account
4.????
Am I missing anything
Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI think #1 may be a good topic because I am sure that there is enough material that we can discuss....Zenda, what do you think?
Hey Xavier i been out of town i got back last night but i mention to Nancy that i thought # 4 will be goo because it's a lot more to talk about but if we are doing #1 that's fine to i just need to know so i can start writing.
DeleteI'm struggling with posting to the blog page. Did you receive any response as to what should be completed for this week? I have an idea for the title of our research paper..."A Picture Says A Thousand Words." Check out this website...Wikipedia:Image use policy. Also found another interesting fact about facebook pics case in Kentucky.

Court: tagging Facebook photos without permission is okay
By Emil Protalinski | March 18, 2011, 2:23pm PDT
Summary: A court in Kentucky has ruled that uploading and tagging Facebook photos without permission is okay, assuming no other laws are broken in the process.
The Court of Appeals in Kentucky has upheld a lower court custody decision made in part on the basis of tagged photos on Facebook. In Lalonde vs. Lalonde, a father and mother were battling over the custody of their child.
The father was awarded custody based on evidence that the child’s mother had been drinking – something her psychiatrists warned could adversely interfere with her medication. The mother argued that since she did not give permission to upload or tag the Facebook photos of her, they shouldn’t have been admissible.
The court disagreed:
There is nothing within the law that requires [one's] permission when someone takes a picture and posts it on a Facebook page. There is nothing that requires [one's] permission when she [is] “tagged” or identified as a person in those pictures.
It appears that protesting the use of a photo as evidence because it was uploaded and tagged by someone else is not a valid claim, at least in the US. That being said, it would be unwise to overstate the court’s conclusion.
“Some instances of tagging might be part of something actionable,” said Evan Brown, a Chicago internet law attorney. “For example, the posting and tagging of photos in the right context might constitute harassment, infliction of emotional distress, or invasion of privacy. Use of another’s photo on the web without permission for commercial purposes might violate that person’s right of publicity. And of course there is the question of copyright as to the uploading of the photo in the first place — if the person appearing in the photo owns the copyright (e.g., it’s a self-portrait) there is the risk of infringement. But it’s interesting to see the court appear to validate ordinary tagging.”
Facebook is increasingly being used as legal testimony. Earlier this month I wrote about how the social network is the unrivaled leader for online divorce evidence with 66 percent citing it as the primary source, according to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.

Nancy, I did not see any postings from you about what should be completed this week.
ReplyDeleteCan you post the web link to it, having a hard time finding it.
I think that we have to...
ReplyDelete1) Create a blog page - Completed
2) Send an invite to the instructor - Completed
3) Decide on a topic...#1 or #4 - Did we finalize? I agree that #1 would be a good topic.
4) We need to work on at least three different elements of critical thinking to answer the issue.
5) Install DropBox.com to your pc. I installed to mine.
Please update your profile pic on the blog page.
ReplyDeleteI like what you have done to the page...I take it that you have done this before? What would you like for me to do?
ReplyDeleteJust jump in. If you want to start an outline for our paper, I'll be happy to work with you on that.
ReplyDeleteNancy, I will jump the outline & should have a draft copy by Late Thursday or Friday. I received a message from Zenda who has decided to drop from our group.
ReplyDeleteI'm cool with the 2 of us continuing. If you feel like we need a 3rd & know someone looking, I'm cool with that as well. What email address can I send you a copy of the draft to? It must be one that we both check on a constant basis. I will use my GMAIL acct because it is linked to my cell & I receive messages instantly and can respond at any time.
Here is my address: xjpatmon@gmail.com
Nancy, I am currently working the outline and I and using the GMC Library rather than Wikipedia due to the credibility of the source.
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with the GMC Library? You can go to gmconline.edu, after logging in, on the left you will see GMC Resources-> select Library, user name and password are the same "gmc", Go to Database by subject & click ethical issues. On the next page that opens type Facebook in keyword search. This is where I am researching information. I hope this helps!!
Rough draft of outline emailed to your GMC & gmail acct. Let me know what you think & what changes that can be made.
