Discussion 4 – How is YouTube Changing Society?
The popularity of YouTube has made it possible for anyone to become a media publisher and can make an average person suddenly famous for a day. It seems that every week another video is posted that becomes a popular topic among friends and family members. Some of these videos are taken of other people with or without their knowledge.
Consider the following scenario:
You are on your way to school one day and are having a conversation with someone in your carpool that is getting rather animated. You are momentarily distracted when someone in the back seat makes a funny joke in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere. You turn around to speak to the person and the next thing you know you have jumped the curb and hit a stop sign. Meanwhile, a friend driving by who witnessed the accident thought it was funny and filmed the accident with her cell phone. She posted the video on YouTube with the title Lousy Driver Alert!
I. Answer the following questions in your initial post:
What is the likelihood you would know this video existed on YouTube?
Should a motorist who filmed the accident be required to get your release before posting the video? Why or why not?
Does this scenario violate any guidelines provided by YouTube?
If you became aware of the video, what would you do?
Should someone be allowed to capture video of you without your knowledge? If you answer no, how could society police this action?
Thoroughly respond to these question(s) and summarize what you learned in one paragraph of 150 words (about 5-6 sentences) minimum, using complete and well written sentences.
