SextCasting Is Very Dangerous

Unfortunately, like sexting, SextCasting can also create potentially devastating and life altering consequences within seconds, however unlike sexting, a SextCast is not isolated to a cell phone or PDA, and the consequences can be exponentially worse as they are farther reaching, more malicious, and almost impossible to contain once viral!

We are not back in the 1980's where taking a risqué photo or video of yourself and hiding the footage in your closet (Responsibility 1.0) will diminish your risk of any (global) repercussions. Today, we use digital technologies and creating a risqué photo, video or webcast (i.e. "SextCasting"%u2122) could cost you your entire life in a matter of seconds. Society must understand the difference between Responsibility 1.0 and Responsibility 2.1C (21st century responsibility).

For Example, search YouTube for "sexy dancing" or take a look at this public YouTube video that has been live for almost a year and seen 100,544 times (WARNING, this may not be safe for work and we do not condone minors viewing this material). Again, the aforementioned view count only includes YouTube, so who knows how many other places it is being watched, or how many people's computers it has been saved to by now.

Notice that this (once personal) SextCastis now being commercialized by a company with an agenda who has saved, edited, branded, and re-released this video globally for their own financial benefit. This type of thing happens thousands, if not millions of times a day, most of the time without the individuals (in many cases tweens and teens) in the image, video, or webcast ever knowing. This is an example of an issue that has nothing to do with a cell phone or sexting, and that is far more prevalent, dangerous, and common in our current cyber culture.
