Facebook’s marketing director,
who happens to be Mark Zuckerberg’s sister, proposed last year that banning
online anonymity would help curtail cyber-bullying and Internet harassment.
Then-Google CEO Eric Schmidt made a similar observation in year 2010, noting
that “privacy is incredibly important” but “not the same thing as anonymity.”
If banning is already imposed or will be imposed would this stop annoying
comments against someone freely posted by an anonymous FB user? Is this
ethical? Is this against the freedom of speech? Support your answer.
For
me, banning anonymity would somehow but not totally stop annoying comments
against some freely posted against someone by anonymous FB user. This is
because there are still FB users who weren’t afraid of saying anything in the
facebook having their names exposed. The concern of this issue is the self-discipline
of every facebook user, one should be responsible enough for every comment that
they made on the said site. It is in the inner self of the user to develop from
within the respect that the people need and deserved. After all, this banning
is not against the freedom of speech but against those people who have abused
their freedom in speech. After all, this is ethical, since what is important is
that one must learn to respect other people so that they cannot blame other people
for not respecting them.
