Media Ethic/ Media Law

This case revolves around the show south park. The show recently censored anything that references Muhammad in any way due to the threats from a radical Islamic website. This is showing that the first amendment is being challenged, but unfortunately since this is techinically a case thats out of the united states juridiction due to it being a threat from outside the states the decision to censor southpark was left up to comedy central. After watching the videos for this clip its really hard to tell if it even refereed to the prophet Muhammad after all hes in  a bear suit.

Internet

On wikipedia there are 14,559 social working websites listed. The social working websites I have heard of are facebook and twitter and that's about it. From what i can tell all the social working websites are all listed. I use social networking as a way to connect with friends who are far away. The sites that I use are facebook and that's about it for social working websites. One way that a a social network website helped me was when someone needed to contact me, but didn't have my phone number. So what that person did was message some of my friends who did have my phone number on facebook and was able to contact me by that means.
