Speaker Geeks! discussion

During Ethics class, we discussed so many cybercrimes. It was discussed too that even "lurking" is a crime.

You may research some cybercrimes and tell us which cybercrimes should be punishable by law.

Haha, that made me laugh xD alright, laters. Thank you for being interested. :D

Oh, coffee (I had my first cup earlier) XD I understand your need for both caffeine and notifs fellow members! :D

I also notice I'm slow when I don't drink coffee.

I saw from the news that Cyberbullying is getting famous. Most of the victims (and bullies!) are in high school.

Piracy: True! Quiapo, Cubao...Pirate bay! home of the pirated dvds and everything. But I bet lots of us are guilty.

Trolling: I agree. But then, depends on the degree maybe. Say, what if all they do is encourage a word fight? The punishment should be greater for those who go 'all the way'.

Well, truth be told, most bullies are from high school.

Definitely, all I have to do is walk to ..."

In the Philippines yes. Some fights are continued offline. In Asia, I've observed too, that cyberbullying is getting 'trendy'.

TRUE. Then they grow up and become college students and face thesis. ;)

Haha 'to the church'. Ikr, weird setting, right?

Wouldn't mind too!

How about the case of Lurking? It's pretty hard to trace. Developers would need a special system designed. But anyway if it's just goodreads-kind-of-site it'll be ok to lurk.

I got a valuable necklace stolen in a church. ._____. It was the only piece of jewelry I owned...."

Yes.

Churches here don't seem safe these days -_- and getting worse. Weird that they don't do anything about it.

Hmmyeah, or maybe it could be punishable if the person does not like the idea that his forum's being lurked. Applies to cyberstalking...like you can choose whether your system could detect stalkers and if you'd want a police to arrest them for viewing your page. That sounds crazy though,arresting a person for viewing a page.

Thinking about it, the laws regarding this could be customizable then. "Depende kung gaano kaarte ang isang tao." Haha. (translation: i don't know T_T)

well, what is considered 'lurking?'

Example, you're always in goodreads' Speaker Geeks and you don't do anything but read comments, you refuse to participate and all... that is lurking.
