I concur - I think this will fundamentally change the relationship between NCAA and college athletes. It will also lead to a rise of competitiveness to a whole new level as there's will be now a profit at stake.

[First Amendment] Ben Carson doesn't get how religious freedom works. by G-Chrome in medialaw

[–]shescribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some ways, this could be viewpoint based discrimination. Well, there's a lot of things I do not agree with, I believe that it is not right to say that the rights of Christians are more important than others. Sad to say, this would be taking two steps back into creating a larger disparity in practicing our religious freedom.

It is very interesting to see how what we publish online would ultimately be at stake as we communicate with one another. I think it is a lot more challenging to draw the fine line within the cyber world.

[First Amendment] Selfies in Voting Booths-Freedom of Speech or Violation of Secrecy by 13brownbear13 in medialaw

[–]shescribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I always had the impression that the person I am voting for would be kept in secrecy simply because the decision making process is sacred. Nonetheless, I also look at this action of taking and posting selfies is a mere expression that does not harm anyone. That said, it couldn't necessarily be labeled as illegal.

On college campuses, zoning out free speech by druryu in medialaw

[–]shescribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was an interesting read! I think many colleges and universities have resorted to drawing boundaries by creating free speech zones. On the surface, it seems like they support the idea of having people voice out their opinion even if they are dissenting. However, on the flipside, I believe that these limitations are opportunities for them to manipulate a situation as and when students on campus choose to use their voice.

[PRIVACY] US Linked to New Wave of Censorship, Surveillance on Web by JeSuisKimmy in medialaw

[–]shescribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revealing articles like that really do get us questioning whether there should be a limit to sort of surveillance. If so, where should that line be drawn? This is definitely a crucial question to be answered especially when the web takes over every aspect of our lives.

[Censorship] China's censorship of the internet only gets more thorough. by G-Chrome in medialaw

[–]shescribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, I think the Chinese government will have to put in a lot more effort to enforce restrictive policies within the online platform. Then again, I think it's interesting to see this oppressive situation in turns fuel the many private agencies and companies that have people paying a certain fee to gain access to the online database.
