Bullying and identity theft on social networking sites (from an article from "netsafe")   by Posh Totty


Bullying, Identity Theft & How to Report it   Identity theft is when someone sets up a web page (or uses documents like passports etc) to pretend they are you.

Sometimes, on social networking sites, people can set up a page which looks like you made it, but it says mean things about you and makes you look bad. This is a form of harassment and any kind of harassment is not ok.  

 

The good news is that there's heaps you can do about it.  

 

To make a complaint about someone who is cyber-bullying you or who is using your identity in Cyberspace without your permission, follow the steps below....  

 

1. Gather evidence
- Note down the web address of the abusive page.
- Take a couple of screen shots of the abusive page. You can do this by pressing down Alt and the Print   Screen key at the same time, and pasting the picture into Microsoft Word.
2. Check out the 'Terms of Use/Service'
- A link to these should be on the homepage of the website. It's a good idea to refer to them so that when you are laying your complaint you can state exactly what the bully has done wrong (according to the website rules).
- Note down the part of the Terms of Use that you are laying your complaint under.   3. Get in touch with the website to make a complaint   4. Get help
- Bullying and harassment can be hard to deal with, online or offline. It is a great idea to talk to an adult you trust (like a parent, caregiver, or school counselor) for support.   NB. Most social networking sites have rules for people who use their website about harassing other people. For example, some may say:   ''you agree NOT to: - Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others.
- Publish, distribute and/ or disseminate any harmful, obscene, indecent, unlawful, libelous, profane, defamatory, infringing, inappropriate, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material or information.
- Use other Members' personal data for purposes other than establishing contact that is reasonably expected to be welcomed by such other Members   If people break these rules by setting up an abusive page about you, they can then be kicked off the site (and the abusive page taken down). It can also pay to remember that in some cases, the Police can help (if the harassment is against the law).


Again, all children or those who are just fed up, stand up for your rights and turn these bullies in!

This usually is in relation to children or teens. That is why
"(like a parent, caregiver, or school counselor) for support." Is written.

Use this website. It is the term written for adult problem of this nature.

As I stated in the comment on my last topic after this one, Good! the more that read it, the more people will learn. And since you had to take the time to look it up and research it, hopefully you will as well. In order for us new people to make sense on what's going on here in what's supposed to be a fun place, I've seen to where a few just need to leave the negative feedback behind and leave it there, in the past where it belongs. That way, more topics will make sense and new people won't get a lickin just because we don't know what's going on and the past history of everyone's arguments. It is interesting to see who is answering, because the same one's answering are the same ones I've seen instigating them in just the few blogs that are showing on each of the community page.

And what needs to be realized is internet bullies and internet trolls are acting like sniveling little sneaky children that have nothing better to do but to ruin someone's day. Everyone wants to state that it's all about children and it's not. Did you stop to think for a moment from the medical topic you were trying to instigate people with may be very hurtful to people who have this real medical problem? The last thing someone would want is a medical problem that someone is trying to live with thrown in their face for the sake of making some one else feel good by making some one else look bad. Have you ever taken care of a mentally challenged adult who wants to be like other people, take part in blogs and chatting with people and then come across bullies who can't think of anyone else other than themselves? More than likely not. We do have a member of our family with a slow learning disability and when this individual tries to act and participate as a normal adult, they get nothing back but stupid ignorant comments because people can't seem to think before they speak. And that my new friend, is one of the problems I have seen through out the whole Nation and sadly going through what I did today on the topics that are presented by this Fox site, show that there are some serious issues going on leaving it difficult for new people to come in and just have fun. So it's not just speaking out to children, but adults as well, there are laws out there to protect those who are getting harassed and everyone needs to know that no one is without rights to protect themselves wit

You are so right Stand and I think my bestest buddy should come out here and state for the record what business he has that will stop all the crime in Central Florida,
what scholarships he supports,
what libraries are named after his family, what squadron he was assigned to for his many deployments to the persian gulf,
what years he attended UCLA and Auburn,
I want him to come out of the closet and put all these naysayers to rest. Come ON Buddy come out and proclaim yourself and show some redemption

Yes but where does it say that bloggers can not request the TRUTH when falsehoods are discovered? If you were to ask a question and were LIED to wouldnt it kind of tick you off? If this liar constantly butted into blogs and spewed even mopre lies wouldnt that tick you off?

LB, again you left me saying what? From your comment here it is clear you have not really read my blogs and of course, you really do not care. You are a clear example of egging some one on for no apparent reason, especially when no one can understand who you are talking about. So if this is your bestest buddy as you claim in your first line, then why don't you just clear what ever issues you have on your own? Otherwise I am inclined to think he is not your bestest buddy and you are clearly intent on stepping on someone. Then I suppose your user name fits you well, LiarBoy and everyone that comes across this topic can use your comment as a good example of what an internet harasser and troll is. Do you realize this is a fantasy world and if people should choose to live their lives that way on the net then let em go. Take it for what it is and move on, otherwise you are no better than your bestest buddy you are apparently having problems with. Sadly to say, that is one thing every State in our Nation has in common, bullying. I thought it was bad from where I just recently came from, but the short time I have had to check out this place, if prize winning cakes were to be handed out, this site would definitely take the cake. Even the other news blogs are not this bad. How can such a great news station with excellent reporters have such a disrespectful blog site is beyond me. No wonder kids today have no respect for anyone.

Swan, who cares if someone is lied to or not on a blog page? We are old enough to know better anyway. How many people do you know will tell you what you want to hear at face value in real life? Real life is just as bad and is filled with liars every where. The government is a great example, but I'll save that for another blog for another day. Going back to what you said, no one can really determine if we are lied to or not by anyone on an Internet page. Don't you know when people are perfect and on their best behavior - when we are on dates, when we meet new people, when we create our resumes, and I am sure you could name more, so what would make the net any different? It is a chance for everyone to look for acceptance and to be a little more perfect than what they are in real life. Then of course, some people are real. But what is the harm in letting someone be what they want to be for a little while? To escape every now and then from reality? Topics are thrown out there for opinions and they are just that. If we don't like what someone says, just skip over it and move on. It shows we are the intelligent ones to keep our comments in line with a topic and not go off course because that is the goal of someone else. Why call someone out because there is a doubt? For new people joining, look what we see, we see topics that don't make sense because of fighting back and forth. And does being lied to tick me off - no, not when it's on a net page from someone I don't even know or care about. I will admit, if it's family or a true friend that lies to me, yes then I would be tic

ticked off, but then again that would be something to deal with in real life that would make a real difference.

One thing to keep in mind, one persons reality may not always be another nor the same as someone else's view, so why argue over it? It could be that what each person states is exactly what they perceive to be real to them, so if that's the case no matter what you say will make no difference, it will always be real for that person. Just be the bigger person to let it go for what it is and it's up to everyone to realize we either walk away looking at something a little different or we just plain walk away. By doing something so simple makes each of us look more intelligent and less of a bully, wouldn't you think? Look at this way, do you think you could walk into a mental institution and argue with someone on how they view their life and make a difference? I would say not, more than likely time would be wasted and when you walk away, the other person is still happy with the world they live in and will continue it. So in reality who really looses? I can give you hint, it wouldn't be the mental patient.

How sad you find bullying humorous. I am glad though that bullies come out such as yourself so the public view has a good example of what not to follow. For some reason blogs such as these seem to show in public view who the good guys verses who the bad guys are. And Eric you apparently have chosen to be on the bad guy list. It must be lonely for you there and will continue to be as long as everyone learns to ignore people like you.

No not one of the bad guys, just think its funny to have someone get on a soap box about something we all know and Fox people control. Just like all the boring post about the Casey Anthony deal, and my Blog about Enough is enough. Certain things to some are boring and/or funny and to others they have such small minds they grab ahold to something and try to run with it.

Stand4UrRights read my blog

Eric no one is on a soap box. Everyone has a right to share what is on their mind. I took a moment to read your blog on enough is enough. Not every one comes across the same blog or not every one wants to read a ton of blogs before posting what is on their mind either. So the question comes across to ask yourself, are you adult enough to skip over something you are not really interested in and let others just blog what is on their mind or if not, what compels you to step in and degrade others for your own satisfaction? Each time you have come in to my topic your responses have been those of instigating remarks as if you were looking for others to join you in your disgust of yet another blog you may find irritating. Just because you may find it irritating does not mean that others do. So if you are not a bad guy as you say, then why come into my topic with a degrading comment insinuating I have a small mind and run with things? There are many types of internet bullies and trolls, and I chose to share that information with those who want to read it. You had a choice to be respectful and add to those who may be interested, but instead you chose to degrade the author and no matter how you state it, that's being a bully. So - sad to say - you are still proving my point.

ZipItHippy you must be having a nightmare. I am not nightmare, I am not ybsrobin. Any one else you want to be to be? Are you that paranoid? I am no one that has been on this site before so you can be rest assured that only you and your bully friends are playing the games. And DaytonaFrank my blog page is a free one and I will post as many as I like. If you do not like it then sheesh stay out of it. But as usual when topics like these go out it is always a known fact that the bullies and trolls can not resist putting what two cents they have left in. So it appears you are the one with psycho issues. What is it I have heard before? Oh yeah the guilty can not lay dormant for too long. So apparently the topics have worked and is showing every one who the trolls really are. I know two hypocrites showing on this screen so why don't you share who you really are ZipIt and DaytonaFrank!

Since you now harass and slander the name of nightmare - a user of which I am not - I suppose the next thing I need to do is to inform the necessary people of the continued harassment of the two of you and let them make the determination. DaytonaFrank - apparently you are a bully because you are accusing me of being someone else and I am not this nightmare you are claiming. But apparently you have no brain to comprehend what I have been writing. Everyone thinks that these topics refer only to children and they refer to everyone of all ages and it is clear to see that this site has a clear problem with not keeping their own TOS to stop all forms of harassment. Very interesting and I hope everyone is readying this to see exactly why I posted these topics in reference to people like Zip, Eric, and now DaytonaFrank as apparently it did not take long for these cyber trolls to come out and I am sure the rest of the trolls will follow soon.

Aug 28, 2008 | 11:34 AM That is a low blow and you know it! You can't generalize like that! I do back up what I say! Plus my boyfriend is Jewish and he was beat up just because he wore a Star of David, he never talked to his classmates because they made fun of his small lisp.

Here's one quote from a conservative I knew in high school. "Abortion is murder because you're killing a baby."

I said. "Do you support the death penalty?" They said yes. "So, you think abortion is murder, but killing someone who has done a wrong isn't?" They never answered and it's been two years! I keep asking them and they still haven't backed that up. You can't be against abortion and for the death penalty without being a hypocrite.

I rarely post things I can't back up, can you really say the same?

ZipIt now I know you have lost what little mind I may have gave you credit for. You are now clearly talking to no one or perhaps yourself. You can quote all the stupidity you want, however you cannot back up who you are talking to because you physically and literally have no clue as to who I am. I am not nightmare, nor ybsrobin. So if you want to continue talking to yourself and prove to everyone that you are a perfect example of my topics then please by all means continue. No one but you are a victim of your own lack of intelligence. Otherwise you would take the advice I gave you and sought this user nightmare on their own page. Nightmare has not commented here so no doubt they have no idea of your ignorance. You have busted no one but yourself in proving the troll you clearly are. I suggest you save face and go talk to this person on their page. And after reading again what you wrote, no where can you back up that comment being any part of Stand4UrRights! Nightmare made no reference to it - so I suppose Nightmare threw your theory completely out the window. Good for that user! And since you clearly have no idea in what you are talking about - you apparently cannot back up anything intelligent -

DaytonaFrank - it is clear to see you have joined the ranks of an idiot along with being a troll and a cyber bully yourself. Are you not the one that stated this is in reference for only children but yet you keep coming back to throw a comment in every now and then? So are you trying to state that -all- bloggers on this site should they have an ounce of intelligence is all one person and that no one else can show any intelligence either? Congratulations you have just shown your ignorance. I have stated before I am not ybsrobin nor am I nightmare. Apparently you along with ZipItHippy have an obsession with these users. All everyone else has to do is sit back and watch as the trolls expose the truth - and that is - their ignorance and need to bully others and you have done that very well. And on top of that you feel it necessary to call another user names in place of their actual user name so apparently since this is an extreme immature trait of an adolescent - then you must be a very immature child therefore every word in these topics displayed do actually show you for what you really are. Welcome to the list. Perhaps one day you will grow up as well. There is always hope for ignorant people like you. And sorry to say - no one is laughing with you - rather more than likely laughing at you instead.
