Social Media and Privacy

I do see that social media has helped in court to spread videos and charge rapists with their crime, but it is definitely a double edged sword. Putting myself into the shoes of these women, I would be absolutely humiliated and disgusted if photos or videos of myself being assaulted were broadcasted. You have to imagine that it isn't only teens and high schoolers seeing this (which is bad enough) but also coworkers, parents, grandparents, teachers, and community members. How embarrassing. I really can't think of a more traumatic incident than a young girl being raped and then to have it shown to the world like a feature film. I think rape has no place on social media. I do think if there is evidence, it should be turned over to authorities but never posted publicly, unless the victim chooses to do so. It should not be someone else's decision to post such a compromising video of someone. Social media wouldn't allow videos of people being murdered online, so why are other violent crimes being featured on news feed? I don't think this is at all justified, and whoever is posting these types of things needs to really step back and reevaluate their decisions and think twice about the effects it could have on a recovering victim.
