News Story Reflection - Wong Yat Sing

Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-13062379

I found a news in bbc which is talking about the cyber stalking. The title is "Police warn cyber stalking is increasing in West Mercia". In the article, the US police mentioned that the case of cyber stalking was increasing during these years. According to the article, there were over 500 cases of cyber stalking reported in 2010 while there were only around 300 in 2009.It showed that the situation is becoming worse and worse as Det Supt Williamson said.

He also mentioned that the cases of the cyber stalking will keep increasing and the problem will get worse and it will become serious too.

I think it is because the internet nowadays have already developed very well. It also provide so much freedom for the people to do whatever they want in internet.The people were willing to share their personal information to the public. The criminal can get the personal information of the stalking victims easily. Also,it still does not have a general law to protect the internet safe.

So i think that the people should protect their own personal information well in the internet and do not upload the important personal information to the internet easily.Moreover, i think the government should create some laws to protect the online personal information. So that the criminal will not get the victims' personal information easily and the cyber stalking will be improved.
