How a federal law strips you of your rights in cyber space: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-6nd...eature=related

NY times best selling author, Lori Andrews is coming out with a new book early next year and she's posting vids based on topics in her book. I have read a ton of posts on cyber bullying, and with that whole "spy ware" thing that's just come out (I'm not sure that you have heard about it in reference to smart phones logging everything and no way to really easily opt out)...I thought this youtube post and Lori's others were relevant. I posted one of them in another thread beause it was on subject. But I believe the internet is becoming the Wild Wild west for sure (the only place left unregulated). What say you? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this if NOT on the link but please check it out just the same. The link contains Author and Lawyer (Ny times best Seller and Oprah book club recommended writer): Lori Andrews and she interviews a guy who was threatened with death through cyber bullying that escalated into his every day life (all through a prank). I agreed to help her spread the word about her new book coming out. This link does not lead to purchasing it, or anything of this sort and won't. In fact the book is not out until late January. I just think her info is so interesting. First she's going to tackle "issues" then she's going to make "how to" vids about how to protect yourself online in ways that you and I have never thought of (as well as obvious stuff) interviewing experts in each field topic (or victims0. She has a series of posts that she will make in reference to all things technology/internet based). Also here's her youtube channel which will contain new listings every couple of weeks. right now it contains everything from Cyber bullying to Fifty Cents and how his tweet may have violated some laws. Please let me know what you think of these issues and even if you have suggestions of stuff you want to know about. For instance I know she's going to do one about how teachers and others are losing their jobs off of facebook,etc. Her channel in case you want to see the others added and/or subscribe to watch more as they come in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-6nd...eature=related
