國際專題:社群網站的使用與防範
  策劃、編譯■陳銳嬪、陳玫伶
社群網站建構了現代人的人際網路,

人們在公共的網路空間交朋友、分享生活點滴。

而社群網站的公私邊界,已經無法分辨。

虛擬的網路空間,漸漸被危險與監控所入侵。

網路與真實世界一樣,都不是安全的所在。

科技的便利性造就了它容易被窺探的漏洞,

所以學習謹慎小心地使用社群網站,

絕對是現代網路族群的必修課。
(回目錄)



別讓老闆在網站上看到你喝醉的照片
   
週末喝得酩酊大醉?參加了一個狂野派對?

別嘗試在社群網站如Facebook和MySpace誇耀以上事蹟,更重要的是,別把你像丑角的滑稽照片放上網。

你未來的雇主只需移動滑鼠,就可以在網路上挖掘到令你臉紅的即有資訊。

國際獵人頭公司Badenoch&Clark董事安迪‧鮑威爾表示:「給你一個忠告:不要把不想讓媽媽看到的東西放到網路上。」

他警告社群網路愛好者,不要把浪蕩派對的照片放上網、不要對浪漫約會做太詳盡的描述,更不要投訴現有的工作或老闆。

鮑威爾指出:「越來越多的雇主開始關注『網路聲譽』。」

「社群網路Viadeo進行了一項調查,發現1/5的雇主開始使用網際網路蒐尋應徵者的資料。」他這麼告訴《路透社》。

他說:「我們的勸告是,人們必須要更小心,尤其是在小事上,例如不要把自己喝醉的照片放上網,或者在網路上告訴朋友,你如何不喜歡你的雇主。」

Badenoch & Clark's在Facebook推出滿4週年時進行研究,結果顯示大約2/3或者62%的英國行政主管,都註冊加入了社群網路。

該調查顯示,倫敦人是英國人中最愛使用社群網路的,有38%的人表示,他們都是在上班時間瀏覽社群網路。

調查引述公共關係顧問司蒂芬‧貝利的說法:「我在加入Facebook的6個月後就離開了,因為網路上是一個如此公開的場合,可以讓我的雇主以及未來雇主知道我的私人事情,而我無法接受。」

該調查也引用《泰晤士報》的社論,該社論的標題為「上網,每個人可以聽到你尖叫」。

社論指出:「這樣的窺探是合法的。這為大眾的自我審查帶來了危機,因為普通人逐漸習慣在電子器具下的偽裝。」

但是鮑威爾認為,人們也不必因為害怕被監視而不使用社群網站。

他說:「這也可以是正面的,並加強你在面試時說過的話。但是你要確保,你所說的和在網路上呈現的東西是前後一致的。」

Had a heavy weekend's drinking? Been to some wild parties?

Don't be tempted to boast about it on social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, or worse provide pictures of yourself behaving like a complete buffoon.

For would-be employers could be digging for digital dirt. Readily available -- and possibly embarrassing -- information is just a mouse click away.

"The best advice is -- don't put anything on your profile you wouldn't want you mother to see," said Andy Powell, director at the international recruitment agency Badenoch & Clark.

He warned social networking devotees not to post pictures of debauched parties, to go easy on details of romantic trysts and never to complain about their current job or boss.

"More and more recruiters are taking note of 'net reputations,'" Powell said.

"The social networking site Viadeo ran a survey which found that one in five employers were already using the internet to search for information on candidates," he told Reuters.

"Our advice is to exercise caution," he said. "Be careful about the more trivial stuff -- photos of you in a drunken state, talking to friends about how you dislike your employer."

Badenoch & Clark's own research, which marked the fourth anniversary of Facebook's launch, showed that almost two thirds of British executives -- 62 percent -- were signed up to social networking sites.

Its survey showed that Londoners were the most prolific social networkers in Britain -- 38 percent said they accessed the sites during office hours.

Public relations consultant Stephanie Bailey, cited in the survey, said: "I came off Facebook after about six months as the internet is such a public space and I felt extremely uneasy about people, including my employer and prospective employers, knowing my personal business."

The survey prompted an editorial in The Times newspaper under the warning headline: "Online, everyone can hear you scream."

It said: "This sort of snooping is legal. But it carries the upsetting risk of mass self-censorship in the one arena where ordinary people, unlike Reality TV freaks, had begun to feel comfortable wearing their hearts on their electronic sleeves."

But Powell warned against being too frightened to sign up in case Big Brother was watching.

"It can be a positive and reinforce what you say about yourself in your interview," Powell said. "Just be sure you are consistent."

紐約將禁止性犯罪者登入社群網站
   
紐約市檢察官於上週二批准了全美首例的新法令,未來將禁止登記有案的性犯罪者在Facebook和MySpace等社群網站註冊。

市內5個行政區的檢察官聯合宣告支持紐約首席檢察官安德魯‧庫莫的提案,這個提案將禁止上千名州內的性犯罪者在網路上和未成年者溝通。

庫莫辦公室所提出一些初步提議包括,法令將要求性犯罪者登記他們在網路即時通的名稱,並且通知交友網站封鎖他們。

庫莫在記者會上說:「當今的犯罪場所是在網路上。我們想要知道他們的電郵地址,也想知道他們在網路上的居所。」

MySpace是新聞大亨梅驛旗下的產業,全球有1億1千萬線上使用者。就在一些青少年被假冒未成年者的性犯罪者侵害之後,政府開始進行監督。

就在上個月,MySpace和美國49個州的檢察官同意設立保護青少年網路安全的協議,包括發展可以讓父母禁止孩子在網路交友檔案登記的電子郵件系統。

MySpace的競爭對手Facebook,於去年10月和庫莫取得協議,將建立24小時探測兒童上網安全的系統,任何兒童不宜的內容可以隨時投訴,並容許獨立監督機制審查。

庫莫表示:「兩家公司都支持新規定。」

「他們想要告訴父母『請來這個網站,這是安全的網站。』」庫莫接著說。

庫莫的提案名為電子安全與瞄準線上性犯罪者法案(Electronic Security and Targeting of Online Predators Act)或e-STOP,已在上週於紐約立法機關獲得兩黨的支持。

根據庫莫的辦公室指出,如果法案通過,這將是首個美國禁止性犯罪者登錄社群網站的法律條文。

New York City prosecutors on Tuesday endorsed the United States' first proposed law to ban registered sex offenders from social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, officials said.

The district attorneys from all five of the city's boroughs announced their support for New York state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's proposal, which would ban thousands of the state's sex offenders from communicating with minors online.

The latest of several initiatives taken by Cuomo's office, the law would force sexual predators to register their instant messaging screen names and enable sites like MySpace and Facebook to block their access.

"The playground today is the Internet," Cuomo told a news conference. "The same way where we want to know their addresses, we want to know where they live on cyberspace."

MySpace is part of Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp and home to 110 million users globally. It came under state legal scrutiny after some youth members fell prey to adult predators posing as minors.

Last month, MySpace and 49 U.S. state attorneys general agreed on a broad set of guidelines for protecting youths, including developing an e-mail registry that would allow parents to prohibit their children from creating an online profile for the network.

Facebook, a privately held smaller rival, in October agreed with Cuomo to settle a child-safety probe in which the site promised to address within 24 hours any complaint about inappropriate content and allow an independent examiner to oversee how it handles complaints.

Both firms support the newly proposed restrictions, Cuomo said.

"They want to be able to tell parents, 'Come to this site because it is a safe site'," Cuomo said.

Cuomo's bill called the Electronic Security and Targeting of Online Predators Act (e-STOP) was introduced into the New York state legislature with bipartisan support last week.

According to Cuomo's office, if passed, the law would be the first in a U.S. state that expressly bans convicted sex offenders from contacting minors on social networking sites.

工程師冒用王子名義註冊社群網站被提告
   
一名摩洛哥電腦工程師於上週五,因為在Facebook網站使用國王穆罕默德弟弟的名字註冊而被控上法庭。

26歲的法嗄‧摩塔達可能會面臨監禁。他被控在未經過當事人同意下,於社群交友網站偽裝成懋利‧拉奇王子。

他的親戚表示,他會如此做,只是因為仰慕37歲的王子。拉奇是王位的第二繼承人。

根據摩塔達支持者所設立的網站指出,摩塔達被蒙上眼睛,然後被帶到不知名的建築物,他在裡面被毆打、吐口水與被侮辱。

摩塔達的叔叔艾‧猶索費告訴《路透社》:「摩塔達的工作與家人都受到威脅。他並沒有任何邪惡的意圖想要破壞他尊敬的王室家庭。他並沒有做錯。」

報章引述說,摩塔達告訴警察,他在Facebook建立這樣一個戶口是要增加浪漫邂逅的機會。他的辯護律師阿里‧阿瑪說,這並不是事實。

阿瑪指出:「他為了避免被毒打,才這樣說。警察想要知道,他是否與意圖傷害王室的恐怖份子有所聯繫,但是他們一無所獲。」

一個與安全部隊關係密切的消息來源告訴《路透社》,摩塔達被逮捕是應司法當局的要求。此事在安全部隊的監督中。

消息來源指出:「安全部隊否認毒打摩塔達的指控。他很合作。」

辯護律師阿瑪表示,他要求法官在審訊期間釋放摩塔達,該案件將於2月22日續審。

摩塔達的兄弟依亞說:「摩塔達是名電腦工程師。如果他有不良動機,為什麼他會使用自己的電腦來註冊帳號?他應該清楚知道,人們可以追蹤到他的IP位址。」

他表示,數千名仰慕名人的人,也在Facebook與其他社群交友網站上使用名人的名字註冊。
