NJ student's suicide illustrates Internet Dangers
Yahoo News (Associated Press Article) ^ | 09/30/2010 | GEOFF MULVIHILL and SAMANTHA HENRY, Associated Press Writers

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – The shocking suicide of a college student whose sex life was broadcast over the Web illustrates yet again the Internet's alarming potential as a means of tormenting others and raises questions whether young people in the age of Twitter and Facebook can even distinguish public from private.

Cruel gossip and vengeful acts once confined to the schoolyard or the dorm can now make their way around the world instantly via the Internet, along with photos and live video.

"It's just a matter of when the next suicide's going to hit, when the next attack's going to hit," said Parry Aftab, a New Jersey lawyer who runs the website WiredSafety.

Last week, Tyler Clementi, a shy, 18-year-old Rutgers University freshman and gifted violist, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate and another classmate allegedly used a webcam to secretly broadcast his dorm-room sexual encounters with another man. The two classmates have been charged with invasion of privacy, with the most serious charges carrying up to five years in prison.

The suicide shocked and disturbed gay rights activists and others on campus....

That puts things in an entirely different light.

What is most disturbing is that parents send their 17 yr old kid to a "prestigious" university and within the first term he is having homosexual sex in his dorm room and performing on a homo porn site.

Most seem to be missing this.

“...and within the first term he is having homosexual sex in his dorm room and performing on a homo porn site.”

Nothing surprising here - this IS the lifestyle. It’s not like they find one guy and they’re all set - they are ALWAYS looking for others. It is one of the reasons that informed people cannot stand this lifestyle (besides the obvious reason).

Ain't college life grand?

It is common unfortunately, his parents probably did not know.

Parents need to educate themselves about homosexuality, and not fall victim to the propaganda.

What a sad waste of a life.

PGP is “pretty good privacy,” and encryption program that uses so-called “public keys.” Now, it might sound strange that highly secure, secret messages could be sent in public, using keys that are publicly posted, that is exactly what PGP offers. The text string you ask about is his public key.

Using the PGP program, you can read in Sourcery’s key, and encrypt a message with it, which would be all but indecipherable to anyone (possibly except the NSA) except for Sourcery, who could decrypt the message himself. So you can send him something privately, using the key he has posted, and be pretty dang sure no one else can read it except for him and whom else he has disclosed the secret part of his key to.

To go into a little more detail, the public key represents a composite number, which is the product of two large prime numbers. It is extremely difficult to factor the composite number into its prime factors. The public key is the product, one of the prime factors is the secret key that only Sourcery knows. If you “mix up” (encrypt) a message with the product, it is impossible to decipher unless you know the prime factors ... which it isn’t easy to find given the product.

Better?

the medias have given more coverage to this than when 9 soldiers died in one day the other month.
Astounding that even this is viewed as a way to an ends for the left .
Using his death is now another way to promote this sick homosexual act.

Would this have been covered in this detail if it was a kid having normal sex with a normal person, I think not.

YOU ARE CORRECT!!!!

Another death at the altar of the homosexual disorder is but another soap box for the morally devoid leftists to stand upon and shout loudly to any useful idiots that will hear them and blindly accept the absurd lies premised upon the genuine tragic loss of human life!

The leftists never fail to exploit the tragedies they create to sow the seeds of further tragedies...

What will they do now besides trying to shut everybody up regarding their sacred cow of homosexual sex? Stay tuned...

Good heavens!

The kid committed suicide out of shame.

Did Paris Hilton commit suicide when her sex tape was on the market?

Did any of them that had HETEROSEXUAL sex commit suicide when their sex tape hit the public?

NO! This kid is a homosexual. Deep down he KNOWS it’s wrong. Shame was his CHOICE out of the situation. You can’t blame the sex tape for the action the homo took. The prosector is going to have a tough time blaming the kids for what this homo did after he was exposed.

Manc, you are so right. How many other people committed suicide that week? Or month? What about soldiers dying in the field as you mentioned?

That is much more tragic. This young man took his own life and lived a miserable life of perversion.

It is sad he committed suicide. But how many more have in the last month? Why is his made out to be more of a tragedy that other deaths?

Up the thread it describes that he had an established practice of filming himself in sex acts and posting them on the college “gay” porn website. Previous to this exposure.

So something else made him commit suicide.

How’d you like to be stuck with a homo as a room mate? Even the military en are trying to use "religious excemption" to not share space with homos. So I canunderstand the disgust of the straight room mate. You typically don't have a choice in who your room mate is. They should have stuck the homo with another homo.

Most likely the straight kid was disgusted by the homo. He probably mentioned it to his friend and you know the rest of the story.

The homo couldn't deal with the consequences of being exposed and so he chose to end his life. It's not about “Internet dangers”.

I looked (very briefly)...this is curious...are wecertain he committed suicide? Facebook posts are not individually authenticated and let's say someone leaves his account logged in for a while and posts under his name.

I do not like any of these kids. They apparently all went to the same high school and knew each other. Ravi could have said - NO. No - I am not staying out til midnight to give you privacy and no you cannot bring dates back to the room.

The school should also tell them no sex in the dorms.

Yes, they found his remains in the water.

And, I don’t know anything about his facebook.

The link the Gawker article gave was to a college porn site, that is where he is in front of the camera, and chatting with his viewers.

Who are now leaving RIPs for him.

Ravi doesn’t strike me as a sissy type. I’d bet they had nothing in common. It was probably a nasty prank that got out of control.

“The school should also tell them no sex in the dorms”

That would be nice but it won’t happen. Many colleges have COED dorms and share bathrooms too!
