DIGITAL ETTIQUETTE

Sesethu Zikhona's death

It all started as a joke whereby Sesethu Zikhona, 14, had her videos circulating on the internet and she said they were posted without her permission. In the explicit footage, which she sent to her boyfriend only she was seen self-pleasuring herself. The footage was then posted online which led to dozens of people creating cruel memes about her. As the video was circulated around to more and more people, she started getting recognized on the street by people who had watched the footage,
which triggered her depression. Mrs Zikhona told Live Monitor that following her daughter’s misfortune she had to force herself to watch the footage and believes her daughter was under the effect of drugs at the time. She also believes the footage was posted online as a ‘criminal plan’ to humiliate her. You as a person should try by all means not to ruin your reputation because it might be hard for you to find job and also to be a volunteer at some organisations.

NAPALM GIRL


As humans, we may not see things as the same way. I believe that the Napalm Girl it was inappropriate for her nude bodies to be shared all over. We all know that at the past the Napalm Girl was taken an authentic picture of an incident during the Vietnamese war.

 Nudity is something that we are exposed to from day one; it is only the nature of said nudity that changes with time. But now you can see someone’s nude on the Internet in a matter of seconds. Our society has transformed in a sense where we used to desperately search for nudity and now it is damn near impossible to avoid. While nudity and porn are adamantly against some for the community guideline regulations for social media sites, they still exist. Regulation against these unlawfully nude accounts has been very hit or miss in what is viewed as acceptable or not.

And now it is sad that the girl is exposed in such manner, I believe she now has children and it would not be a good image towards them. Social media is not exempt from this ideal, there are good posts and bad posts, best practices and worst practices, and good nudity and bad nudity.

Social media allows users to create a profile among many platforms and connect with people around the world via images or text. The use of the hashtag on social media has revolutionized marketing and created a specific niche of contact between people and consumer.  It is not a good image at all. It should be removed from the media so that the girl can live in peace.
