8 Problems Victims of Inappropriate Content Face
The innovations of the digital world continue to change our lives day by day. Updated social networking applications and constantly improved chat networks have caused us to meet with many people from different regions every day. However, the relationship established in digital media has never been controllable like the relationships in real life.
The consequences of people sharing their content in digital media uncontrolled and insensibly have taught us to be more careful in the digital era. Especially strict quarantines, lockdown, and house limitations within the scope of measures taken by governments during the Covid-19 pandemic led people to spend more time in the place where they are and decreased their self-control mechanisms considerably.
The fact that individuals with decreased self-control tend to share inappropriate content irrationally far from normative thinking while interacting in digital media has caused them to share inappropriate contents of themselves with wrong people or on wrong digital media.
Of course, the aggrievement due to sharing inappropriate contents increases at a certain rate every year, a 22% increase was seen in the aggrievement of Ex-boyfriend Blackmailing called “Revenge Porn” during the Covid-19 pandemic compared to the previous year, and almost 2.050 reports reached to a helpline in this regard (BBC). The Women’s Aid, a domestic violence aid agency, conducted a relative study. More than 60% of women who encountered ex-boyfriend blackmailing reported that the abuse they experienced got worse during the pandemic.
So, How does it feel share such content from the point of the victim?
8 Problems Encountered by Victims of Inappropriate Content:
1- Microenvironment worry: One of the content types that spread quite rapidly and virally is considered under the inappropriate content category. Sharing and consumption of inappropriate content about their own personal life increase psychosocial stressors of the victim with questions like “What happens if my relatives see?” and “How can I explain this to my parents?”
2- Negative effects of career: Almost 90% of recruitment specialists use the results of Google search engine. Therefore, inappropriate contents about the victim cause negative results during the evaluation. Even though Google is up against such content, the viral index of inappropriate content is quite strong makes it inevitable for possible aggrievements.
3- Refraining from searching: The majority of inappropriate content types attributes to the violation of privacy. This situation causes the victim to have the tendency of being more socially isolated; thus, the tendency of social refrainment even when searching for solutions is high. However, it should be remembered that addressing content through ( the / a ) credible and professional application is the most important step for preserving digital reputation.
4- Anxiety disorders: The state of uncertainty causes a higher level of anxiety disorder in humans than other living creatures. The victim experiences a high level of fear and uneasiness from the moment inappropriate content is posted. Underlying attitude patterns of anxiety disorder induced by reasons such as not knowing the solution, spreading of content sharings, and social exclusion affect the victim and they experience the feeling that “as if something bad will happen” in terms of attitudes.
5- Domestic disturbance: The victim does not only worry about themselves in a dangerous situation about their digital reputation but they also worry about the reactions of their families. The approach of the microenvironment regarding the incident faced by the victim plays a critical role in providing a solution. Especially the disturbance that the family caused the victim to experience might cause secondary trauma for the victim and their digital reputation might be under more negative effects instead of focusing on solution trials. Therefore, the family’s approach to the subject is quite important.
6- Social stigmatization: Social stigmatization of victims is considered as the exclusion of the victim by their social circle. From the moment inappropriate content is posted, the victim’s credentials including their image can be detected by the user on viral disclosure websites and can sometimes be shared in a way to include their credentials. Therefore, the spreading of the victim’s inappropriate contents can be noticed both by their inner circle or distant relatives, and this causes the victim to experience social isolation.
7- Feeling of being trapped: Stress due to sharing of inappropriate content causes the victim to feel like being trapped. Those experiencing such a condition should be dealt with it by getting professional help and make a plan within the scope of digital reputation solution practices. Otherwise, the behavior of avoidance in the moment of crisis may hurt the victim in terms of the postponement of the solution.
8- Thought of not finding a solution: In a way, the attitude that the content cannot be detected if it is removed from the platforms, on which it was posted, and reposted causes the victim to believe that “there is no solution for this and I cannot do anything about it.” Benefiting from applications regarding the removal of the contents to ensure the digital reputation and preserving the old reputation changes the perspective of the victim on that incident.
