Imagine what the following steps:
place in a city over night at every lamppost a defamatory statement about the specialist practice Doctor X.
The contents of the statement would certainly steadily spread throughout the city, whether right or wrong, true or untrue.
Doctor X would certainly be the main theme within the colleagues, and patients would make your thoughts.
Who perpetrated the attack on Dr. X well? Who runs this character assassination? A jealous colleague
? A dissatisfied patient? A practice staff?
course would hang up posters that list is not long on the masts, this would already make the city clean, but still would be the damage to reputation of Doctor X happened and he would also fear that the action at any time repeated.
But then perhaps also on the web.
who earlier in the Middle Ages stole, cheated or committed adultery, was put on the market place in the pillory. There he had to for a few hours, and all saw that he was a criminal. Today we deal with people who violate laws and rules of society, different, supposedly more humane. You usually get a fair trial and then have to pay a fine or even time to Prison.
see what our laws before so this is called the rule of law.
But because there are some people that this system is apparently not efficient enough to still have stocks economy - whether in the form of gossip, or in modern and contemporary version as a web page or online forum.
Some of these contemporaries make a kick out on the Internet or pillory set up here and publications in the form of slander / insults etc. enter or be registered by third parties.
find But you have also, that even in Germany official considerations was and still is to establish for certain cases publicly available information files. So you can see already today, so public, who is entered in the register or who has undergone a bankruptcy process.
Abroad, U.S. and in Britain there are official pages pillory, set up by the authorities, following which we will introduce ourselves.
Gallery: The modern pillory sites on the Internet
Many of these stocks are maintained by different authorities.
The Free pillory the Chicago Police Department
The Chicago Police Department has already in 2005, the deterrent power the exposure of the net for the discovered. To curb the illegal prostitution in the city, it sent a new online pillory for a suitor. Who has since been caught with a prostitute and arrested will appear, with photo, full name and home address on the side of the Chicago Police Department . The site is updated daily, the images will remain online for thirty days.
And Chicago Mayor Richard Daley is threatening: "If you get involved with an illegal prostitutes are arrested and you will all know it. Your wife, your kids, the whole family, neighbors and even your boss" Whether the public shame but it really results in going back to illegal prostitution, is questionable.
The rapist-pedophile Exibitionisten pillory the Ministry of Justice of the United States
The most popular of Internet stocks is on the side of the U.S. DOJ. On the National Sex Offenders Public Website " all those U.S. residents in a public database are collected, they have been convicted of a sexual offense, that is, in general, the rape or abuse of minors. If you are looking there for registered offenders in his city will receive a list of names. For each name, he sees the photo of the offender, his current address, details of the conviction and a list of physical characteristics.
But that was not intended as punishment for the offender, but merely to protect the public, protested the ministry, after the database went online in 2005 and broke a great storm of indignation. The recidivism rate of sex offenders should be particularly high, so had to protect citizens and their children against abuse. This abuse of the privacy rights of offenders are massively violated and those who assist the perpetrator can never again live a normal life, is accepted.
Privacy: The Justice Department does have indicated that it is illegal to discriminate against someone because of his record or to harass. A prospective hiring manager or someone who feels called to vigilante justice, should, however, be sure the care less. Some of our politicians in Europe want to import the model anyway.
the no-maintenance payers pillory from the UK
"We fight against child poverty and ensure that parents who live apart from their children , and financially to their Alimony. "So it says on the website of the British Child Support Agency . The British agency are to many tools: wage garnishment, foreclosure, withdrawal of license, jail. This is a good thing, because to not pay maintenance for his child is a big mess. According to a new enactment the agency must now go even one step further - and publish a list of the black sheep on its website. Over a hundred single parents have been written to and asked if they agree that the names of their former partners will be published. The list was then in the summer a month online, but was taken off the network. After numerous critical articles published the Agency have happened even doubt whether these rabid method is useful.
The pillory for Exhibition
One of the few truly useful online pillory the American Weblog Hollaback NYC . "If you can not slap'em, snap'em" is the battle cry of Holla Back, translated as: "If you can smack them have not, but shooting a picture of them." These are the disgusting contemporaries who expose themselves in the subway, to masturbate or other people otherwise sexually harass. You will be shot down with the phone. These snapshots are then uploaded to the blog and detailed commentary: Who, when, where, what has he done?
origin: the site was inspired by the story of 15-year-old New Yorker, Thao Nguyen, the pictures with her cell phone a nuisance in the underground and thus convicted him. Then New Yorkers had the idea to set up the blog. Whoever ends up here once in the Hall of Shame will consider then hopefully twice if he makes young women in the park offers ambiguous. The images are mainly, but not made only by women.
The Encyclopedia pillory
Other websites which are not thought primarily to be pilloried, converting it to great for this purpose.
For example, the number of wikis on the net, such as the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Particularly spectacular is the case for example of the former journalist and assistant to Robert Kennedy, John Seigenthaler. The long felt as blameless pensioners, until one day he accidentally found his Wikipedia entry. Among other things, it was alleged in the fact, Seigenthaler was involved in the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert. He also had in the past lived 1971-1984 in the former Soviet Union.
until many months after Seigenthaler complained to Wikipedia, the article has been corrected. Mr. Seigenthaler, who this character assassination would not put up with, made the incident then the U.S. tabloid USA Today public. He pointed also to a large main problem of Wikipedia: No one must take for him by written or revised entries responsibility. Theory and in practice there may denounce everybody else (or even slander), which has taken him once on the road the right of way.
The people - search engine pillory
people - people search engine are just the latest craze on the internet .
The current internationally well-known among them is Spock, in Germany there are offshoots such as Yasni.de. These services browse everything on the internet, other search engines, social networks like MySpace, blogs, news articles, video and photo web portals and pool the data found there to a person in a single profile.
For excited blog posts and news coverage Spock in the past, but provided a different reason:
may Unlike all the other web Spock profile of all participating Internet users slogans and pictures are assigned - regardless of whether the person concerned, then it or not.
is the people - profile of former U.S. President Bill Clinton as indexed by the terms "Sex Scandal" and "impeachment". The well-known lady Britney Spears will be pleased by the following terms: "Does not always wear underwear" not sure.
Very much worse can it get but when the custom profile is provided in addition to anonymous users, such as with the inappropriate words "child molester" or "killer" or compromising pictures. How accurate and that you remove such unwanted information again can leave, Spock has not yet announced.
If you pillory these modern methods now compare with the above-mentioned example of Doctor X so you will notice that Doctor X is (then) still fared well. The labels were removed from the masts.
The publications on the Internet can hardly be removed yet, they hunt in no time in seconds around the globe.
you are copied, linked, sent by mail or RSS, they will be spidered by the search engines spiders and stored in memory. Forever and ever!
