Regulation, Good Practice and Censorship

 Regulation - setting rules for material when it is in the public domain 

Censorship - banning forbidding content to circulate

Case study - tommy Robinson video with man who incited hate crime against himself on social media Inciting violence (writing violent hate speech to him and his family such as death threats on social media)

Hate speech includes:

  • Racism
  • Homophobia 
  • Sexism
  • Xenophobia 
  • Islamophobia 
  • Antisemitism 
Case study - Christ church mosque attacks New Zealand 15/03/2019 49 killed terrorist attacks by right wingers two mosques attacked 

Use of social media platforms/social media to share violent content globally e.g. case study above 

Using Social Media at Work: 
Justine Sacco - “going to Africa hope I don't get aids just kidding I’m White” - this is racist can get you fired from your job 

You need to use social media cautiously to ensure you do not compromise your professional prospect as a result you need to use social media responsibly for future employers/current employers will use this as a mark of your integrity

Censorship:
Internet in North Korea - using smartphones as mass surveillance watching anything not censored is seen as spying cannot access wider internet intranet curated by regine has to be approved by government monitoring devices prevents file sharing Thats not signed by government cannot hide activities from authorities takes random screenshots of browsing activities  

Smuggling USB’s and DVD’s in balloons flew balloons over boarder from South Korea  as part of propaganda to try and show people who lived there they are not free campaign park realised people was struggling and not free he bribed guards cross the boarder and leave he picked up propaganda efforts and stuffed them with usb and dvd he was seen as a hero threatened with death but he persevered. 1z

• some internet searches are banned and social media is blocked in the country- there is no facebook, instagram, google+, gmail and youtube

• China has its own social media platforms - Weibo
