Preliminary Research on Facebook and Video/Tag Posts

The research that I am currently doing deals specifically with a video posting of a young teenage girl who was exposed through the act of bullying and nonconsensual sex. During the filming of the video she was unaware of what was going on behind her or who was watching so she claimed. This type of accusation and stage of bullying forced outsiders/viewers to watch and either support her or degrade her. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube clearly allows users to automatically post videos without some kind of consent or warning. But, the posting is not what kills the users it’s the tagging of someone’s name or profile that causes such a disturbance and a turns into a tantrum. For instance, I watched a YouTube video for entertainment, and the video conductor seriously expressed how he felt about being tagged in unknown videos or pictures that he had never heard of, surprisingly people that he didn’t know and still fails to know who they are today. My point here is that tagging is becoming too explicit; sure any person should be able to post a video for entertainment, but without harming the viewers or the video participants. This summons the amount of preliminary research that I will continue to go forth with.
