Cyber Space: Violate Human Life

Nowadays, Internet users are overwhelmed by the number of sensational video clips that float around cyberspace. Most Internet users are offended by this practice for good reasons: It is against any norm of decency to spread video footage of famous or common people in compromising position.

The fact remains that simply too many internet users are addicted to sensational video clips or pictures, though a line must be drawn how far this sensationalism can be allowed to continue. In the recent, there is a video clip of two singer girls named “Four-Mod”. In the video clip, they were changing their clothes in the bathroom and they were both naked. This video clip was posted on the Internet, which damages two singers’ reputation.

Even though the police can find the person who took this video clip, the police still cannot be able to arrest the suspect, including the person who posted and send to others. People still keep an eye on the laws, which are related to the protection of citizens’ privacy, is it can possibly effective to protect violation? Due to the nature of technology in all of its applications, it would not be unreasonable to demand that the authorities use the same technology application to police the uploading of video clips that are an obvious violation of any person’s human right.

In other words, entertainment in video clips is a welcome factor; sensationalism resulting in the invasion of privacy is not a proper form of entertainment.

As the emotional and psychological damage to the victims is immense, there is no other way than to put a stop to the wave of privacy violation video clips.

Indeed the Computer-Related offences bill just only declares for the recent years, so it would be effective in a limited number of cases. Where it could be proven that an image was doctored to create a loss of reputation to someone.

However, Ministry of Information and Communication Technology has tried to protect people by created a Cyber cops. This group of people has an expert skill to detect the violations in cyber space.

They use highly technological investigation techniques to find the source of any upload. These experts obviously cooperate with the Royal Thai Police on computer crime investigations.

The laws have a problem to catch up with the fast development in technology. The bright side is that the same technological inventions can be used to track down wrongdoers. The invasion of privacy caused by these uploading secretly filmed video clips must be punished. The whole activity of secretly filming video clips all over cyber space is a clear violation of privacy.
