Cyberbullying and Hackers

[endodoc79]

We don't know exactly what happened to the original forum site yesterday, but I had wanted to post about cyberbullying. It was featured on the Today show yesterday and deserves comment a propos of sites like DU and other anti-Clinton sites. Definition: Cyberbullying involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others. People now are looking to enact laws to stop this kind of behavoir. A Missouri town has passed a law to prevent cyberbulling in response to last year's suicide of 13-year-old school girl Megan Meier after receiving intentionally hurtful messages on MySpace, (http://www.cio-today.com/news/Teen-Suicide-Spurs-Cyberbullying-Law/story.xhtml?story_id=12000B111K60). The new law passed for Megan is prompting awareness of the need for stronger state and federal laws to stop cyberbullying and online harassment. It turned out the hateful messages came from a Josh Evans that was a fake profile. The actual cyberbully was the mother of a girl who had been fighting with the victim. This is serious business. This calls for new laws and oversight. Another interesting article on Echo Boom hackers, the havoc they reek and tracking them down,

I post this for info only. I feel our attention must be focused on electing Hillary Rodham Clinton the 44th president of the US, so lets do all we can, knowing there will be some obstacles in the way.

I was banned from Huffington Post.

There are several ways one can make a difference over there. For one, anytime someone calls a candidate a "name", you can "flag" the post.

Because there were so many people saying the same nonsense as I responded to many of them it made it look like I was the repeater. What that fails to take into account is that Obama supporters outnumber Hillary supporters at least 2-1 on the internet, but that is not indicative of the actual popular vote.

The other annoying thing was, just autosend the "offending" comment or reason to the poster then give them a chance to see if they can alter their posting if they desire.

I didn't do anything wrong but respond to the nonsense.
