Unlike sexting, a SextCast
™ is
not isolated to cell phone usage, and the consequences can be
exponentially worse as they are farther reaching, more malicious,
and almost impossible to contain once viral.
The Institute for Responsible Online and Cell-Phone Communication
has declared there are two primary types of SextCasting
™:
1)
A Private SextCast™: Whereby an individual(s)
purposefully performs a risqué or sexual act in an image, a live
webcam feed or pre-recorded video or message specifically for
another individual(s).
2)
A Public SextCast™: Whereby an individual(s) is
purposefully performing a risqué or sexual act on a live webcam
feed or recording their actions to knowingly post the content
publically using digital technology (i.e. email, social network,
website, message board, etc) for global viewing.
The following examples are just two of the vast catastrophic
outcomes that can result from a SextCast™.
1)
An Unintended SextCast™: Whereby an individual(s) creates
a Private SextCast
™ unaware that the content is; (i) being
stolen from their hard drive, (ii) being stolen from their password
protected webpage, and/or (iii) their webcam feed is being watched
and recorded by a third party via a hacker and spyware program
which often leads to “Viral SextCasts™”.
2)
A Viral SextCast™: Whereby an individual’s Public or
Private SextCast™ unknowingly becomes public and is spread globally
(a.k.a. becomes viral) through email, social networks, websites or
other digital technologies thus the content can be saved to private
hard drives across the world and resurface again at any time.
