Conditions of social networking sites.

11. CASE STUDIES

12. Case Study 1: Negative Impact
• A 13-year-old boy was arrested after allegedly making an online threat to
bomb Marina Bay Sands (luxury casino resort in the city).
• In his Facebook post, he said that the day he leaves Singapore, he is going to
take “a big revenge,” “spit everywhere” and “plant bombs on Marina Bay
Sands.”
• According to his Facebook profile, which reportedly has since been taken
down, he attended the Global Indian International School in Queenstown,
and is from New Delhi.
• An Internet user who saw it made a police report.

13. Should the boy be punished?
• Yes!
• Those found guilty of falsely
threatening terrorist acts face being
fined up to $100,000, jailed for up to
five years, or both.
• But, As in this case boy is a juvenile the
boy should be fined and should be
deported.
How to avoid such cases?
• We must know the terms and conditions
of the social networking site we are
using.
• We should not post anything offensive on
a social networking site.
• .Users should report any kind of social
threat.
• Legal action should be taken.

14. Case Study 2: Positive Impact
• Twenty-two-month-old Iona Stratton had
been fighting infant acute lymphoblastic
leukaemia since soon after her birth.
• But because of her half-Chinese, half-
English background, her family couldn't
find a bone marrow donor to match her
rare type.
• In October 2008, her parents made an
appeal on Facebook.
• More than 5,500 people around the world
signed up and, eventually, a match was
found in Australia.

15. Another example- Facebook page called Socialblood.

16. Conclusions

17. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
Legal implications are the consequences of being involved in
something, as determined by the law.
• Information Security Legal
Risk
Organizations that employ social
media face several information
security legal issues, which can be
broken into 3 broad categories :
Potential liability due to a breach
of the organization’s security.
Social engineering and spoofing
attacks against users or “fans”.
Leakage of third party
confidential information.

18. • Privacy
Posting photographs and video without proper releases may
violate the privacy or publicity rights of individuals.
• Unauthorized Use of Trademarks or Copyright-
Protected Works
Social media sites allow users and companies to post content,
including content that may be copyrighted or trademarked.
• Defamation Issues
Social media environments provide a forum for defamatory
statements to be made about individuals, and disparaging remarks
to be made about companies’ products and services.

19. • Employment Law Issues
Many organizations use social media to vet candidates for
employment and as part of background checks.
• Advertising Law
Employees who truly love their company’s offerings and tweet
about them or discuss them on message boards are supposed to
disclose that they are employed by the company.
• Electronic Discovery and Evidence
While posts on social networking sites are often shorter than
traditional emails, they create problems precisely because they
are shorter and thus require more explanation.

20. IMPLEMENTATION OF TRANS DISCIPLINARY
LEARNING IN OUR PROJECT
