Short Summary (Facebook)

"Fascinating Symposium at Sigmund Freud University, cosponsored by ACUNS, UNODC, Sorotopmists, African Women, and three universities.

WHAT I LEARNED:

  • from Gail Dines: Internet transformed the Porno Industry, now accessible to all including 9 year olds;
  • from Antonio Gutteres (FRA) States have an obligation to control cyber-sexual harassment;
  • from Kamola Ibragimova (UNODC) Education for Justice has 14 modules, including ICT for Law Enforcement;
  • from Maria Maras (John Jay College) law enforcement will never catch up with technology and new developments;
  • from Hannah Gaffney (Cambridge U): sub teenage girls more likely to be cyber bullies, youth know better new technologies;
  • from Max Edelbacher: weaker social classes less like to be cyber bullies.

Many other issues discussed in 3 1/2 hour discussion: privacy, Government and Commercial companies have destroyed all notions of privacy; some effects of cyberstalking long standing, even lead to suicide."
