'The corruption of words is easily discerned when the truth is felt.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'Today anyone can start a webpage and write derogatory or hateful comments about another, or attempt to tarnish their reputation with lies. Whilst there are adequate laws in Australia to address this, in reality little action is being taken to hold those who choose to be abusive accountable. Given we are all responsible for the quality of society we live in, why are we continuing to allow abuse to prosper on the internet?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'Abuse is abuse, irrespective of whether it occurs online or offline.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'When the notion of bringing more accountability to the online environment is raised, people sometimes argue that it is against their right to freedom of speech. However, freedom of speech does not mean freedom to abuse'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'When it comes to driving a car, we accept if not endorse that every person is required to have a license. Obviously a car license encourages a level of responsibility on the road, and if a person does harm another they can be held accountable for their actions. So...why do we not yet require a license to surf the internet? Given online a person is able to harm others, in some cases many others, and yet remain anonymous, this simply does not make sense'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'The Internet is a big place. It is a playground that allows us to indulge in almost anything we want. But abuse is abuse, and ought never be tolerated just because the person is behind a computer screen and not face-to-face with you'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

10/2/2016

 
'Abuse is occurring on a massive scale on the internet, yet in the majority of cases people are able to do it without any consequence or penalty of any kind, which encourages abuse to continue'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'Everything we write on the internet remains as a digital footprint. What quality of footprint are you leaving?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'Anonymity allows people to say whatever they like online and get away with it. It is time we brought some accountability and responsibility to the internet'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

3/2/2016

 
'The online environment has become an irresponsible playground to vent our unresolved issues, and essentially abuse people we do not know. Whilst this is not the case for all, the amount of cyber-abuse occurring is huge and has rapidly increased in recent years. Question: would there be anywhere near the amount of abuse on the internet if we were not able to be anonymous? Given as a society we do not accept someone abusing people on the street to remain anonymous, why do we accept it if they are doing it online?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'Online abuse is a huge global issue, affecting many children and adults worldwide. One area often not talked about is how this form of abuse affects businesses, which can have wide-reaching effects on relationships and families. More community discussions are needed on cyber abuse to gauge the true impact it is having on our lives, and how we can sensibly address it'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

2/1/2016

 
'Cyber abuse is a huge global issue. One of the key issues is that people are essentially able to say whatever they like online under the cloak of anonymity. More community discussions are needed to bring far more accountability to this cyber environment'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
