Ethical Issues- image capturing

I remember at school when Pixt-phones were all the rage, it was a large issue for our teachers and  matrons of the boarding house. The use of cell phones in school and in the boarding house had to be re assessed. I remember the rules changing to only allowed cell phones between the hours of 4pm till bedtime which was around 8pm. Rules still progressed to banning pixed cell phones all together, the matrons unforced this during hand in checking that phones didn't have cameras and turning all phones on and off to check they were real. I think the issue was Pixt bullying but of course we were never told.

Cameras today are made very small and it is easy to take photos of people manipulate the images taken and upload them to the internet. Internet sites such as Facebook, Bebo, blogger and youtube are very public and have millions of people logged in and viewing images at any one time. Photos can be copied, manipulated and published anywhere very easily with today's technology.
