This article is called Tracking Twitter, Raising Red Flags.
Varsity Monitor keeps an online eye on their athletes and at time gets paid for
it too. There are social media sites out there just looking for athletes to
mess up by simply using obscenities, using offensive commentary or, as the
article says, words like “free”, which could indicate that a player has
accepted a gift in violation of N.C.A.A. Some players think it’s too much and a
violation of a student’s/Athlete’s privacy. It goes to explain that in some parts of the United
States it’s illegal to monitor athletes personal life online. There is a difference between drugs testing an Athlete and monitoring the content being searched is inappropriate as opposed to illegal. The article goes on to explain how this is ethical at all to do. With
the more the universities try to monitor the athletes and students profile and
personal life online, the more students and athletes find ways to enforce
private passwords and set up security. It's then up to the student/athlete to
give permission by giving up their password to the University to monitor their
profile. I guess thank UCLA and other universities for this paranoid annoying
activity. This explains up in a relative to the chapter on freedom of speech in
the right thing and the anonymity. Also in the rain some privacy laws in axe
how far a school or job can go before pushing the limits. This I took also
explains the counter professional ethics in responsibilities explaining the
relevance I have an ethical procedures.
