CS 492/CS 692 W08 Role-Playing Exercise 3

Title

Team A

A group of concerned citizens are concerned about the potential invasion of privacy in the posting to public Web sites, such as You Tube, of candid photographs and movies taken on the spot by people's handheld devices with cameras. These concerned citizens propose that such postings not be allowed or be subject to review boards that determine if a proposed posting is both sufficiently newsworthy and not an invasion of privacy.

Team B

A group of concerned citizens object to censorship of any posting any material that is not obtained illegally and is not libelous. They cite beneficial instances in which the posting of a photograph has allowed the capture of a pedophile who had just kidnapped a child or of a movie that showed just how an assassination took place, showing that the official governmental explanation was false. They point out that in any case, anything anyone does is subject to being seen by others and recalled in testimony in a court of law and is subject to being caught on film and being reported publically by a professional newspaper or television journalist.
