1. Does sexting represent a form of expression that is protected by the First Amendment?
Answer:
As teens mature sexually, emotionally, and cognitively, they should enjoy expanded First Amendment rights and responsibilities commensurate with their age and experience. The prevalence of teen sexting1 demonstrates the budding sexuality of teens as they explore ways to communicate and express their sexuality. In exploring the thorny issues raised by Teen Sexting Images, the First Amendment defines the zone of free speech. For the reasons explored in this Article, it is arguable that pornography law, as applied to TSIs, must comply, at a minimum, with modified First Amendment freedom of speech protections for minors.
2. What can be done to protect people from the dangers of sexting while still safeguarding our First Amendment rights?
Answer:
- Never give your personal details to anyone you have met online. This includes the name of your school, pictures of yourself, the place you live, anything someone could use to identify where you live
- Do not send pictures of yourself to anyone – even if they send you one first (it might not even be a picture of them)
- If the person you are chatting to insists on information, or keeps pressing you about your details – stop chatting!
- If someone keeps trying to call or chat, or threatens you, tell someone you trust and get help
- Report people who use abusive language; harass or abuse you; to the people who run the social network you use – the perpetrator can be banned from using it!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
1. Visit the EFF Web site at www.eff.org and develop a list of its current “hot” issues. Research one EFF issue that interests you, and write a brief paper summarizing EFF’s position. Discuss whether you support this position and why.
Answer:
New Wave of Facebook Phishing Attacks Targets Syrian Activists
The campaign of attacks targeting Syrian opposition activists on the Internet continues to intensify. Since the beginning of the year, Syrian opposition activists have been targeted using several Trojans, which covertly install spying software onto the infected computer, as well as phishing attacks which steal YouTube and Facebook login credentials.
I do support the EFF campaign against Phishing Attacks, it will make all social networking users to be aware with this kind of issue, and be careful of their sharing personal information online.
2. What reasons might a firm give for joining and supporting EFF?
