I read an article at newsweek.com which left me in shock. A deceased girl's accident photos were posted on the internet even though her family was unable to view them (due to the gruesome nature of the pictures). The internet has always been difficult to regulate (It's an international medium and who's really in charge?). I wonder what her family can do to stop this from happening?

ReplyDeleteI read this article in New York times about the Swine Flu. It was just posted today.
During the weekend it was informed that it was in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
It said in the article that a man in Spain was positive for the flue. Meaning that the Flue is already in Europe. People are warning Europeans to stay out of North America and Mexico unless of emergency.
This would mean bad business for companies ; planes, food,etc. Some are obliged to close because close contact with someone who have it can get it in 48 hours maximum.
This could be the next World epidemic.
