western kentucky university is delving into the world of social media and they
are upset with some of the criticism that they're facing on twitter in face
book
so some of the senate cycle university will right maybe disparaging things
about the university that officials are not too happy with
uh... so what they're doing is they're creating a policy that tell students
that they need to be careful with what they say about the college
uh... either on twitter or face book or any other social networking site
and i have a problem with that
yeah identification
i don't think that the university should dictate what students write about the
school on their private you know during their
by the time
when they're using their own computers at their home or wherever they are
you can't police with students arriving on social networks advanced and that who
still wants to bed about something that's happening at the university left
and that's about it if they're upset with tuition if they're upset with the
way certain things are being handled in the administration they should have the
ability to do that i think it's protected under the first amendment now
they do have the ability to you that this is gonna be totally
counterproductive unless they can say for myself when i first read this story
my first
instinct was to write a disparaging to read about the university
so it really didn't accomplish what they wanted
uh... i said say they're worried about parity accounts that pretended to be the
university's say disparaging things wretched had twitter shot one down by
the white twitter wasn't willing to do that but today i understand that that
if you go on twitter right now there's a parity account for
everything
there's one frames we usually is right leg after her oscar performance as they
don't take this seriously
yeah they don't cut
and looking at the university says that they were concerned that the parity site
was not properly
properly markets to show there was a parity site which ok find in that case
twitter or whatever website is managing that account shining email send a note
is saying okay making apparent that this is a parity sec but regardless of that i
feel like the university is wasting its resources on policing students and what
they do on their own private caps we've been doing to help me what their other
issues that you should focus on and here is the the part of the story that
actually kinda pissed me off is
they talking and i'm not discounting the possibility that some of the problems on
twitter could get into the area of bowling or something dot that's a
serious subject
but they're cloaking their desire to censor all of these accounts
behind the possibility of bullying they say uh... we have to offer some amount
of protection to the states are worried about the students are worried about
racism against them
retin-a they're not saying that the spirited counterattacking individual
students are fighting individual officials at the school once really
ironic is in their attempt to get people to stop criticizing them
they make people criticize and more
and work with someone who has video yeah we wouldn't be talking about western
kentucky university unless they were doing something clownish like that we
might be more videos if
let's go back on again off again i think it's still got me on the levee we have a
set of parity account action
