Comments on: Week 6: Cyberbully http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/week-6-cyberbully/ Coming of Age Online Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: ShannonMartine http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/week-6-cyberbully/#comment-238 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:29:00 +0000 http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=764#comment-238 From the trailer, I wonder if this film only takes place in her room. The idea of cyber harassment is so stifling and isolating that really adds to that imagery of being trapped in a room

Unless you’re an A-list celebrity, you hardly–if ever–hear of the case of some stranger stealing your photos and invading your privacy. Like Jordan said, the film clearly sensationalizes online privacy. It almost feels as though middle-aged parents wrote the screenplay without consulting any millennials who would actually understand how online safety works. Had they taken the instance of IsAnyoneUp.com, where angry ex’s post up personal photos of their formers (dubbed by the media as “revenge porn”) I feel like the film would hold more merit with people our age. But this film doesn’t, and I agree that it’s “horror stories” like this that prompt parents to miss issuing the real concern at hand–that is, the children’s choices online, rather than who they “meet.” Thanks for pointing this out.

I think it’s clear that media and films like this, in which the drama is SO heightened, contribute directly to moral panic and to resistance to technology in general.

Unfortunately, films that simply exaggerate the issue like this only fuel the moral panic, pushing parents to approach the topic with their children out of fear instead of opening up an unbiased conversation based on actual fact.
