Cyber Bullying Technology
The sad news about bullying is that this type of attacker has been utilizing computer technology to help them accomplish their dirty deeds. Since the problem is growing and becoming a very serious issue within the world that we live in there are certain things to keep in mind about cyber bullying. We will discuss what this term means and also how it occurs.
The most commonly seen type of cyber attack is one that is directed right at the victim from the bully. The bully uses internet websites and emails to directly slander and attack their victim, often in very negative and profane ways. The worst thing about these attacks is that they are often made very public for others online to see and this creates bad social situations for the victim.
Another way that a bully can single out a victim is by use of a proxy. Bullies are now starting to use one of their victims to attack another and this creates negative social situations as well as an awkward situation for an innocent person. Nobody wants to be accused of this type of cowardly slander, especially when they are not the ones responsible for it.
The most common age group that falls victim to this type of attack is the teenage age group. What has been occurring is that the traditional kind of high school bully is making use of current technologies to help him achieve attacks on his victims. If a school kid is attacked, it should be reported to the public or even private school as soon as it happens.
So what type of content is within the common attack of a cyber bully? There are many things to look out for and none of them are nice. Not only is their profane language that attacks and slanders others but there are also threats. Keep in mind that compromising or slanderous photos are sometimes used in these attacks. This became more common with the invention of the digital camera.
Anybody with kids, especially ones in their teens, needs to keep a close eye out for this type of cyber attack. As was mentioned most victims do happen to be teenagers, however there are younger and younger groups of children that are beginning to utilize these practices. If your child is acting very different of withdrawn, talk to them to see if they are a victim.
A bully does not need the use of a personal computer to attack a victim, especially when they have access to a cell phone. Cell phones are becoming more and more advanced and most kids and children are starting to carry them. An attacker can use text messages as well as cell phone pictures and videos to attack somebody and this is actually becoming very popular.

After taking some time to consider how serious of a thing cyber bullying is becoming, you might want to talk with your kids about it and consider using a monitoring service like SafetyWeb. It is very important to report any attacks that take place to education facilities as well as authorities as such things are considered criminal. Do not forget that these attacks have often lead to actual acts of physical violence and they shouldn't be allowed to go that far.

Cyber Bullying - Help and Support for Dealing With Cyber Bullies
Cyber bullying is abusive behaviour using technologies. The cyber bully uses a range of strategies which can be categorised as follows and each category provides some clues to effective help and support
1. Emails to a known address of the cyber bully victim
2. Mobile phone text messages to bully the victim
3. Social networking sites messages abusing or denigrating the victim
4. Information technologies accessible by the cyber bully including video message boards.
If we examine the logistics and practicalities of cyber bullying via these media, solutions can be presented which should enable the victim to ignore, redirect, delete or track the bully and their abusive messages.
1. Emails: the relevant factors here include:
a) The cyber bully must be aware of the email address of the recipient in order to send intimidating or abusive messages.
b) The messages remain private as the victim is fearful of the abuser
Solutions:
- change the email address of the victim and do not distribute unless to known and trusted individuals;
- redirect the abusive cyber bullying material to a protective source such as a parent or school liaison for further intervention;
- allow students an individual email address since generic addresses such as 'student name /number@name of school or institution' provide a template for locating someone to abuse.
- train the victim to ignore, redirect or delete all emails from the abusive source so as to avoid exposure to the abuse.
2. Mobile Phone Text messages: the relevant factors here include:
a) The cyber bully must be aware of the phone number of the recipient in order to send intimidating or abusive messages
b) The messages remain private as the victim is fearful of the abuser
Solutions:
- change the phone number and distribute only to trusted friends and family
- Forward the abusive message, without opening, to a protective source
- train the victim to ignore, redirect or delete all emails from the abusive source so as to avoid exposure to the abuse.
However, this is generally not what happens and the consistent access of the cyber bully to their victim via these electronic means can prove to be highly destructive. Supportive strategies within the home and school such as limiting access to mobile phones and supervised computer time, can offer some protection. Allowing unlimited access to mobile phones and computers without monitoring the content is the equivalent of locking a child in their room with their abuser and this is an inadequate response. Parents may want to consider overnight restrictions on mobile and internet usage to limit access if the child is being bullied by these means. These solutions may seem obvious but the complicating factor always is the distressed mental state of the victims of cyber bullying and their reluctance to expose themselves to further and possibly physical abuse should they use these responses.
3. Social networking sites: the relevant factors differ here:
a) the site is often a private and exclusionary site accessible only to the cyber bully's selected friends. The victim therefore often hears by proxy about the abusive or denigrating information and cannot retaliate on the site or correct misrepresentations.
b) the cyberspace rules are very different for such sites. There is the issue of 'freedom of speech ' which has been used in some litigation to uphold the right of the cyber bully to denigrate or criticise, even slander the victim with no recourse to legal sanction. Solutions:
- the victim cannot engage with the abuser so must be advised to ignore their postings and contribute to other more productive social networks
- the victim may open an individual site to counteract the abusive or libelous allegations of the cyber bully
- the victim may seek intervention from webmasters if the language or content of the abuse is contrary to cyber communication regulations. Cyber bullying is a destructive and harmful activity, which requires the victim to develop skills for self protection and help seeking. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/sussex/7251384.stm BEBO BULLY VICTIM IN SUICIDE BID : Monday, 18 February 2008, 17:06 GMT
MySpace has introduced protective measures such as promoting safe social networking on their sites since 2006. They have employed trained specialist personnel to deal with inappropriate content and have closed down 29000 profiles set up by registered offenders (Patchin and Hinduja,2010). They restrict access to sites set up by young people under age 15 and do not permit children under 13 to register. These measures provide some protection from predatory users, and may be a useful barrier to peer abuse.
4. Other opportunities for abuse: An example has been cited of abusive peers entering the video announcements visual communication board at a school and on the school bus to expose an individual to public humiliation. This is known as 'hacking' and is most likely a police matter and should be reported as such by the school authorities. Cyber Bullying has entered the realm of severe abuse but help and support are available.

The Influence Of The Internet On People's Social And Psychological Realities
The influence of the Internet has caused a change in the way we communicate, learn and shop.
The Internet is probably most famous for the ability to spread information, fact or fiction. We were once limited to news editors of a local paper, then to national cable news. Now anyone can search the globe, visit local papers in foreign countries, and see the views of all sides. This ease of information has also brought with it a large amount of hoaxes, money schemes, and fallacies.
There is no question that easy access to the Internet, like the introduction of mail service and the invention of the telephone, has changed the nature of people's connection to others in their social world. Mail made possible connections among people without physical proximity, and the telephone facilitated communication among distant people, making rapid connections possible across long distances.
But has this communication revolution changed the pure nature of interpersonal and group processes?
On the one hand, since the primary use of the Internet is communication, some people might speculate that the Internet will have positive social consequences in people's everyday lives because it increases the frequency and quality of interpersonal communications among people. People with easy access to others would feel better connected and more strongly supported by others, leading to happiness and engagement in families, organizations, communities, and society more generally.
But, on the other hand, the ease of electronic communication may lead to weaker social ties, because people have less reason to leave their homes and actually interact face to face with other people. The Internet allows people to more easily work from their home, to form and sustain friendships and even romantic attachments from their home, to bank from their home, to vote and engage in political and social issue based discussions with others (from home).
In this variety of ways, Internet communications can potentially displace face-to-face communications. I think this point is important because psychologists in many researches have described and proved such face to face and telephone connections as being of higher quality, when viewed in terms of their contribution to satisfaction and well-being.
Reading a series of longitudinal and experimental studies (e.x. McKenna, Green, and Gleason), who test a theory of relationship formation on the Internet, these researchers directly address the argument that the psychological quality of Internet social interaction is lower than is the psychological quality of traditional face-to-face interaction.
Consider my own use. I've received several e-mail messages in the past hour. My boyfriend confirms the dinner for tonight. Even though it is weekend, my colleagues send me questions about the pending exam expects a quick answer. So does some graduate student from Europe, that I recently met on "MySpace" with an urgent request for a letter of recommendation. My friend Ksenija sends me an IM to tell me the latest news about her new love. And so on and so on...
I assume that I am also living a virtual life, and what's the most interesting of all, all of my friends online, are also my friends in real life. And if they weren't that in the past, I somehow managed to bring my cyber friends into my real life, so I could here in my real life enable real communication, real face-to-face "talks", real exchange of emotions, feelings of happiness, satisfaction and well-being. I'd say for me, the Internet is a great new way for doing old things.
So, what else conclusion can I bring except the one that Internet life cannot stand on itself without real-life communication. It is simple: If we understand the qualities of face-to-face communication that influence the impact of such communication on people and their social interaction, we would be able to predict the probable influence of any new communication technology. However, researchers show that people sooner or later convert their cyber contacts into more traditional face-to-face, the same as I do. People use the Internet, in other words to help them achieve their real-life goals. And rather than technology's changing people's social and psychological reality, in other words, people change their use of technology to facilitate their creation of a desired social reality.
Internet users should closely examine their behavior, to ensure that excessive time online will not negatively impact their personal well-being. We shouldn't throw our computers out the window, but neither should we charge on blindly into complete dependence on the Internet. As with many things in life, it seems that moderation and balance are key to maximizing the Internet's positive effect.

Media Monitoring - What it Is, What it Does, How to Use It
Media monitoring is the process of carefully reading, watching or listening to the editorial content of media sources (including newspapers, magazines, trade journals, broadcasters and the Internet) on a continuing basis and of identifying, saving and analyzing content that contains specific keywords or topics.
Monitoring the News Media
Monitoring editorial content of news sources including newspapers, magazines, trade journals, TV and radio stations is by far the most common type of media monitoring. This typicalls is called "news monitoring".
Most companies, government agencies, not-for-profit organizations (e.g. hospitals, universities, associations, etc.) and individuals such as authors and celebrities utilize media monitoring as a tool to identify mentions of their organization, its brands, and executives in news media. Some organizations also deploy media monitoring tools to track the success of their news releases, to find information about competitors and specific issues relevant to the organization, to benchmark performance against competitors, to manage corporate or brand reputation, to gather industry intelligence, to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of corporate communications, to identify new business opportunities, and other purposes.
In addition to monitoring news, many organizations now also monitor social media on the Internet, tracking word of mouth mentions about their organization in social media such as Facebook, Twitter, blogs, message boards and forums. This is commonly known as social media monitoring, word-of-mouth monitoring, or buzz monitoring.
Media Monitoring Profile & Search Terms
The monitoring process starts with the search profile and the search terms or keyword(s) or keyword phrases. The search profile contains the service terms: the media to be monitored, the type of articles and/or mentions to be delivered, the time period of the monitoring, and the method of article delivery.
The search terms are those key words or phrases that must appear in the article such as the name of the organization or its affiliates or brands. An article containing a key word is usually referred to as a "clip" or "clipping," "news clip," or "press clipping." The clips are delivered either physically by mail or as a digital file, usually via e-mail.
While some organizations use in-house staff to monitor news and social media, most companies and PR agencies outsource the function to commercial services. The commercial services can usually provide more comprehensive media coverage than in-house staff using online news monitoring tools such as Google News. Commercial media monitoring services often deliver better results at lower cost than the actual labor costs of in-house news monitoring with staff.
Media Monitoring History
Media monitoring started in the 1800s as press clipping services. Press clipping services (called "press cutting" in Europe) employed human readers to scan articles in printed news publications looking for the key words of multiple clients. The readers marked the keywords in articles, then used razor blades to cut out the marked articles, put the clipped articles into client folders and delivered the clips via mail to the client. Most press clipping services served a limited geographic area - one country, for instance - and monitored publications in only one language. According to studies by GE, Kodak and other organizations in the 1970s, the human readers typically missed 30 to 40% of articles containing clients' key words, largely because the readers were quickly scanning the articles for multiple clients' keywords, not actually reading the articles word for word.
Broadcast Monitoring Services
In the 1950s, specialized broadcast monitoring companies started to monitor TV news broadcasts for mention of their client company key words. Initially, the broadcast monitoring companies used humans to watch programs, write abstracts of the content and log mentions of clients' key words. The development of Betamax and VHS videotape recorders, along with closed caption text for hearing impaired, enabled the broadcast monitors to record the programs and use software to search the closed caption text for clients' key words.
In the United States, that closed caption system is still in use although computers (not videotape recorders) are now used to record the programs. In countries that do not have closed caption text embedded in the TV broadcast signal, broadcast monitoring companies now often use speech to text software to create a character-based document which can be searched for key words. Closed caption text and the latest generation speech to text software are each about 70% to 80% complete and accurate.
Online Media Monitoring
The growth of the Internet and World Wide Web in the 1990s gave rise to online media monitoring services with automated processes to monitor online news. The online services deploy specialized software called robots, bots or spiders running on high-powered computer servers to quickly scan the new editorial content of online news sources and social media and to index all the words in the news content and social media postings. Once the software has compiled the content, it identifies all articles containing each client's search terms (keywords or phrases) and then automatically clips and delivers those articles or social media postings to the client. Unlike human readers in old-fashioned press clipping services, software seldom misses valid articles because it reads the entire article word for word.
Advantages of Online News Monitoring
The commercial monitoring services offer multiple advantages when compared to old-fashioned print-based press clipping services or in-house media monitoring by staff.
Today, with rare exceptions, every print publication publishes its editorial content on the publication's Internet Web site. By monitoring print publications on the Internet (World Wide Web), online media monitoring services can monitor news media sources in all countries in virtually all languages. Online news monitoring services currently monitor between 20,000 and 50,000+ online news sources in multiple languages. Many of the online monitoring services utilize embedded translation software to include instant software-based translation of foreign language news clips.
Whereas the old-fashioned press clipping services required 2 to 3 weeks to deliver clips, online media monitoring services deliver clips overnight as a standard service and usually offer near real time delivery at additional cost. Most clips are delivered by e-mail in text or HTML format but other delivery methods are available including RSS feeds, XML and PDF via FTP transfer. The daily e-mail reports enable executives in client organizations to keep up-to-date with a fast and comprehensive overview of how their organization is being portrayed in the news and social media. The daily e-mail clip report also can provide early warning of brewing issues and problems.
With the use of Boolean logic in client queries, online media monitoring services can meet very specific and specialized media clipping requirements with great accuracy. Instead of delivering "all mentions" of a specific word, the media monitoring service can deliver a specific subset of articles and postings such as:
(Orange OR Sprint) AND (mobile OR phone OR cell) AND NOT -fruit OR Julius OR Crush OR "track and field" within 25 characters.
Because online media monitoring services deliver clips as digital computer-based files, clip storage, management and distribution are far more easier than with old-fashioned paper-based clips. Most online services store each client's clips in a digital online archive that is available at anytime from anywhere by anyone the client authorizes. Using standard database methods, clients can easily organize and manage their clips in the online archive. Most digital archives include keyword search capabilities - that is, clients are able to search their digital clip book for any key word or phrase. Most of the digital archives also make it easy to circulate clips via e-mail to others within the client organization.
Social Media Monitoring
While news is clearly the core content to monitor, most organizations now recognize the growing importance of monitoring social media such as blogs, message boards, forums, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and video sharing sites such as YouTube. What is published or uploaded in these online social media sites has gained significant credence and influence. As a result, monitoring social media for criticism and complaints is now crucial to protect corporate and brand reputation - and to better understand what consumers think about the organization, its brands, and its customer service.
It's possible, but inefficient, to utilize in-house staff to monitor social media using free online social media search engines. For the most part, however, social media monitoring services are more comprehensive and more time-efficient.
Most news monitoring services offer separate or integrated social media monitoring services. As in news monitoring, the key is comprehensive monitoring across a wide range of social media, especially blogs, message boards, forums, complaint sites and Twitter. With over 50 million blogs worldwide, it is not sufficient to monitor only the so-called "influential" blogs. It's crucial to monitor as many blogs as possible because it's impossible to predict where critical information will surface. It's also important to use key words on a continuing basis to monitor social media. Monitoring social media sources for criticism and complaints can be especially effective as a customer service tool - correcting problems and issues and earning the customers' gratitude before complaints spread virally.
Media Monitoring Summary
Most commercial media monitoring services are subscription based with a monthly fee for on-going service. While some services - usually ones that evolved from old-fashioned press clipping services - charge an additional fee for each delivered clip, most of the newer online services do not have per clip fees. To better understand the quality of each service and the differences in services, it's best to use multiple services on a free trial for a few weeks before committing to purchase.
In summary, monitoring news and social media is a vital function to track news release placements, identify other mentions in the media about the organization, manage corporate and brand reputation, monitor competition, stay current on industry issues and other purposes. Commercial media monitoring services, especially online services, offer superior results and lower costs than in-house monitoring by staff.

Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act - Felonies and Misdemeanors
The words "computer crime" generally conjures one of two ideas: high-tech espionage or child pornography. However, in Oklahoma these take on a much broader approach. From online solicitation of a minor and other internet sex crimes to hacking and fraud, these crimes in Oklahoma are clearly defined by the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act (21 O.S. 1951 et. seq.). Section 1953 of the Oklahoma Statutes deems the following to be criminal offenses: (partial list)
1. Willfully, and without authorization, gain or attempt to gain access to and damage, modify, alter, delete, destroy, copy, make use of, disclose or take possession of a computer, network or any other property;
2. Use a computer or any other property as defined for the purpose of devising or executing a scheme or artifice with the intent to defraud, deceive, extort or for the purpose of controlling or obtaining money, property, services or other thing of value by means of a false or fraudulent pretense or representation;
3. Willfully exceed the limits of authorization and damage, modify, alter, destroy, copy, delete, disclose or take possession of a computer, computer system, computer network or any other property;
4. Willfully and without authorization, gain or attempt to gain access to a computer, computer system, computer network or any other property;
Under the Oklahoma law, some of these crimes are misdemeanor offenses, but most of the offenses are felonies. Misdemeanors include:
• Accessing a computer or network without authorization
• Using or allowing the use of a computer service without authorization
• Using a computer, computer system, or computer network to abuse, threaten, or harass another individual
The six remaining crimes are felonies. Some specific examples of CPU crime include internet fraud; computer sexual exploitation; copyright piracy (illegally downloading music, for example); hacking; and development and distribution of viruses, worms, bots, spyware, and malware.
Along with the increasing access to computers and the internet comes increased responsibility for ethical use of technology. By abusing the privileges of technology through internet sex crimes and other computer crimes, one risks the consequences of conviction. Conviction of a misdemeanor computer crime in Oklahoma is can result in a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail and up to ,000 in fines. Oklahoma computer crime felonies are punishable by fines of ,000 to 0,000 and a maximum prison sentence of ten years. Additionally those convicted are also subject to civil lawsuits as well as criminal charges.
