RUTGERS SUICIDE

Even though I don’t know Tyler Clementi, I was in shock that this has happened to him. Those two students had no right to tape him and should not have posted it on the internet. This is a complete invasion of privacy, which led to his death. I don’t know how they’ll manage to sleep at night knowing that somebody has killed himself because of them. I know they didn’t mean for it to go this far, but what did they expect? They knew that by taping and streaming the video online will cause a lot of embarrassment for Tyler and he will face a lot of cruelty around campus. From what I’ve read, he is a very nice and shy guy, who probably didn’t go around looking for trouble. It is not a joke, or a way to pass the time by, when you think you can secretly tape someone having an intimate moment. What happened to morals and ethics? This is not the first time that someone has killed themselves due to public humiliation on the internet and I think that something should be done because it probably won’t be the last. Everyone’s lives are online now and everything is shared. But there are certain limits and boundaries that should not be passed, and it is important to know them. Otherwise, get off the internet.
