social media gossipand privacy

Mr. Daniel Solove spoke on social media such as face book and how privacy has been destroyed by social social media people cannot get away from their past because nothing is ever erased when it comes to the internet. Google searching could bring up things that people did in their earlier years. Solove also highlighted several examples of people who have been persecuted over the internet such as the star wars kid, dog pop girl and a very known woman Dr. Schlesinger. Naked photos that she had token for an ex were sold and published on the internet. When she tried to sue them she lost the case because the company had copyrighted the photo giving them legal rights over the photos. Later on the website sued another website because they posted the pictures on their site. This is so wrong because it just seems so inhuman it makes you think that the law is above what is right. Where is the world going? All the legal documentation shouldn’t be held above a person’s well being. While many people point the finger at the person that is in the photo I think we need to stop treating the law as if it shouldn’t make adjustment to situations the photos should be removed. The law doesn’t have feeling people do what happens when people are so embarrassed that they become depressed or began being taunted by others. People can kill themselves over things like this in fact they have. Their blood should  not be forgotten but put on the hands of what we call the judicial system. Oh wait what the government holds most precious is not the people they say they protect but its laws. Sad cold immoral world I would say. I am outraged that people have lost their since of humanity.
