With the usage of social media, sharing information about
sexual assaults undoubtedly catches people’s attention. This, is beneficial in
the prosecution process, because by drawing more attention to it, it ensures
punishment. However, I think that it is extremely unfair to the victims to have
that being shared all over the internet. I would imagine that the victims would
want to try to put these events in their past, but the publicity over social
media would make that more difficult. Although I believe that it is a negative
in regards to the victim’s experience, I think that a positive could come from
them seeing all of the hatred towards the perpetrators, and knowing that they
are going to be deservingly punished for their wrongful actions.
I agree with the fact that the victim should be allowed to choose what is publicized to the world. It is unfair for them and has an extremely higher impact on the victim then many may think. When someone is to simply share information on social media, they don't know how it could be changing someones life.
ReplyDeleteI agree that something positive could come from all the hatred towards the people that commit these terrible acts. Maybe people will see the hatred and it will make them think twice before posting something harmful.
