Cyber Stalking: Cyber Stalking is the use of electronic communications to harass or threaten someone by sending e-mails.

In the case, a lady complained to the police around a man who was sending her vulgar, defamatory and irritating messages in a Yahoo message group.

Defining evil is something we all want to do. We search for the answers to why people do sinister things. As young kids, we grow up watching horror films and wondering what motivates the killer. As young adults, we watch documentaries on serial killers and shows on Investigation Discovery that give us glimpses into the minds of killers. Where are their morals? Why is vengeance wrong? We ask ourselves. In Stephen De Wijze text, “Defining Evil” Wijze core thought is the moral effect evil acts have upon us.

Communication is found in many different forms. These days, many people communicate through a combination of in-person discussions, telephone messages, internet forums, and countless other channels. In “Exploding the Phone” by Phil Lapsley, we explore how people communicated through phones during their introduction into society. More specifically, the author takes us on a journey on how a subset of phone users, called “phone phreaks,” connected with each other through the telephone. These people would get around paying for the phone bill by using various methods such as whistling, playing a flute, and even building sophisticated electronic boxes. Before we began reading the book, we were not expecting to read a story; we were expecting a technical overview of what exactly “exploding a phone” entails, and the text being quite complex. After reading the first chapter, however, we were very surprised at how the author worked to keep the book interesting by mixing some light technical details with important stories of how people exposed the phone networks to their advantage.

“18 USC § 2510-2516 addresses wire-tapping and privies protection against illegally tapping someone’s telephone, and 47 USC § 223 of the Communication Decency Act prohibits interstate or foreign telecommunications that is used with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another… Title 42 of the Civil Rights Act may be utilized to address online victimization. This statute has been interpreted to prohibit sexual harassment in work environments” (Southworth, Finn, Dawson, Fraser, & Tucker, 2007).

The Communications Decency Act, as part of a longer Telecommunication Act, basically states that anyone who uses the Internet to make any “patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards, sexual or excretory activities or organs” communication to someone under 18 is breaking the law and can be fined or jailed.[iii]

The definition of cyberbullying is ‘the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature.’

While much of the public has experienced or is aware of the potential of conversations being heard over cordless phones and baby monitors very few complaints about invasion of privacy were made. This also has not stopped the use of them nor has this awareness guided many in using due diligence in certain illegal or immoral activities. Whether this is a conscious choice or not, it seems this invasion of our privacy has been accepted as a byproduct and benefit of the ability of freedom of movement in our ability to keep in touch. We demand privacy and yet we compromise our privacy continuously.

In his quote, Albert Einstein is asserting to his past experiences with people he considers evil during WWll. As a Jewish child, he was obliged to cooperate with the requirements of being a Jewish citizen of Ulm. In 1939, Einstein, horrified by the image of German scientists working on an atomic bomb, wrote a letter to president of the time, Franklin D. Roosevelt. In it, he pleaded for an increase of scientific research on nuclear techniques.

Where the note and the emails are clearly annoying, and can be deemed inappropriate, but illegal harassment and defining the elements of a crime is more illusive than it would appear at first brush. The traditional “real world” defined as “. . .words, conduct or actions . . . that . . . annoys, alarms or causes substantial emotional stress in the person and serves no legitimate purpose . . .” (Jameson, 2008, p.235). The harassment and annoyance factors are key in cyberstalking and this can take the form of emails, blogs or postings and technology can facilitate the perpetrator’s ease in committing illegal acts.

Most of the pre-recorded messages are associated with marketing campaigns. In some cases, the government uses telerobots to deliver public service and emergency announcements. Thus, it's hard to separate the good calls from the bad ones.

Information gathering, through networking, social media, and both on and offline storage have made it easier to collect information about an individual than ever before, with many concerns having arisen over the years about privacy and the ability to protect that privacy. As debates over personally identifiable information continue, one cornerstone remains a constant, ethics.
