Are we seeing the end to social Networking and Blogging?
By Lee Coppin | July 25, 2007
With the news full of problems being experienced by social networking sites are we seeing the beginning of the end for Blogs and Social networking. My Space have just closed 29,000 profiles of know child offenders and Facebook’s owner is in court fighting to stop a rival closing him down.
Can it be that the bubble is about burst and we are all about to see the fallout of closer regulation on line relating to the freedom of content and speech for our online world?
Social networking and blogging are founded firmly on the ability to speak our minds and post it up as quickly as we can think about it. We can all post content to our blogs and social networking accounts in seconds.
As a blogger I am concerned that if we start seeing governments and regulatory bodies becoming involved in the “policing” of our content and blogs off the back of these events how will our hand be tied.
Don’t we all have a social and moral responsibility to police ourselves and keep our chunks of internet above board? I see every day posts and comments from people who seem to not care or forget that this is a world wide medium; after all WWW stands for World Wide Web.
Do I need to get a grip as I am over reacting or will this mushroom out of control resulting in us all losing the hard earned online incomes we have come to enjoy?
These small events can become major issues online in a matter of hours. This can result in the world we live in looking very different over night. It is up to us bloggers to show we can be trusted.
I am only one blogger but I can still make a difference. I can only hope that the major players out there set the example and promote socially acceptable blogging.
This just could be a flash in the pan but that was said about blogs and social networking in the past and look at what they have become. Lets not give the powers that be an excuse to meddle in the blogosphere.
