Facebook keeps 'deleted' user photos for years - 13 views

  • Even if you delete incriminating photos on your Facebook profile, the company is keeping them accessible to anyone online for up to 30 months.

      woahhhhh that seems really creepy. i dont think that is right for a company to have a deleted photo of you for 30 months. if you delete it, then you delete it for a reason, not so even more people that are in a company to see you doing something that you thought people to see but then relized it was stupid to put this on in the first place.
  •  
    This article points out that up to 30 months after photos are deleted from Facebook that they are still there. If someone has the direct URL to a photo, it is still accessible. Students should be taught about this and we should educate ourselves as well. Once something is uploaded it is out there. Period. You cannot take it back.

Open Thinking & Digital Pedagogy » Blog Archive » Flickr Perversion - 0 views

  • These photos of these girls were without a doubt being sexualized, and my four-year-old daughter was amongst these images.
  • These photos are legal. The actions of the user who favorited these is also legal (although incredibly disgusting). I did not want photos of my child to appear here. So, this is what I did: 1) Blocked the user. This means my photos would no longer appear in the list. However, if your photos are viewable to the public, this means they can still be viewed, just not favorited. 2) Contacted Flickr: I reported this user, and within a couple of hours, the user was taken down.
  • the subjects were handcuffed, often in sexually provocative poses. Again, my daughter’s photos appeared. I blocked the user, contacted Flickr. Same deal. But obviously, that’s not enough.

  • 1) What must parents know about the realities of the Internet in regards to how we deal with the photos (and identities) of our children? 2) What are the benefits of an open vs. a closed reality? Are the benefits of openness (e.g., in regards to our families) worth the risks? And, what are the credible risks? 3) What precautions should we take, or perhaps, what precautions do you take in the presentation/development of your family’s digital identity? 4) What rights and responsibilities do we have as parents to protect the digital identities of our children? 5) How do we proceed from here? How do we help other parents to understand these important issues?
  •  
    This is why I don't share the photos of my children online in public places. After one pic of a child at school was favorited in this way, I took the pic down and am ridiculously vigilant about checking to see how many photos have been favorited and which ones to see if there is one that some sicko has looked at. This is an article I'm going to share with my digiteen dream team! It is an important one to share!

digiteen2008 - Digital Literacy - 0 views

  • Some teachers are trying to use digital literacy in there classrooms daily to try to help students become involved. Our teachers use overhead projectors, smartboards, and televisions.Many of us use computers in our classes. If we do not learn how to use computers we could soon be separated by the digital divide. The digital divide could end up leaving some of us jobless. We need to be able to use all of the technology we have access to so we can succeed. In a article called "Digitally addicted kids threaten to return to civilization to the dark ages" a girl named Megan Meier committed suicide due to Cyber bullying. A kid named Josh Evans did this, who later turned out to be Megan's ex boyfriends mom Lori Drew. There are so many examples of digital literacy. We use them in everyday life. We use computers all the time, don’t we? I know if you work in an office then you do. Also, Teens are in love with text messages, although text messaging can be very harmful. While texting you could be bullying someone. Like I said before about computers, not only do business people use them, but parents and teens, and maybe some younger children. Teens get in chat rooms all the time. Some probably don’t even know what they are getting into. In chat rooms people can be pushed to do something or even be bullied. Chat rooms and the use of text messaging can be harmful.

  • Relying too much on technology is a problem because it isn't always reliable.
    • Ashley M
       
      I also find this very true..The following statement explains how relying on technology too much could be a negative thing.
  • Digital literacy is trying to teach basic computer concepts and skills. Literacy isn’t being able to read and write, like used to be. It deals with being able to tell the difference between a real and fake website.
    • Ashley M
       
      This is a great definition of what Digital Literact is.
  • Teachers are beginning to use overhead projectors, clickers, and television more

ACCC drops eBay probe after payment changes | The Australian - 0 views

  •  
    "TWO years ago, eBay Australia tried to force sellers to use PayPal as the only available payment option on the online auction giant's local site. That attempt went horribly wrong and, apart from the bad press, eBay found itself in trouble with the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission and the Reserve Bank." From July 14, eBay will require sellers to offer at least one of three safe payment methods -- PayPal, Paymate and merchant credit cards.

    Why would consumers object to being forced to make online payments through only one service, that being PayPal?

How to Be Safe on the Internet: 10 steps - wikiHow - 0 views

  • Do not give out your full name, address, or phone number to anyone online
  • Don’t use lazy passwords. Choosing password or 1234 is like putting a luggage lock on the front door of your house. Also, people will be able to guess it and hack. Instead, come up with a longer password that contains both letters and numbers/characters, preferably one that references something significant only to you. For example, if the name of your beloved childhood goldfish was Sir Bubbles, swap out some of the letters for numbers and you can end up with a very nice password like s1rbubb735 that only you understand.
