Are we humans?

Yes, this is what I feel like questioning the crowd where I live.
I had been just scrolling on the Facebook feeds when I came across a few screen shots uploaded. The screen shots contained some personal chats which were posted by some newly registered ID. And shockingly, there were people who were liking and commenting on it.
I mean where are the ethics gone? What happened to the act of 'being human'?
These are heights, one can not malign someone's image and privacy like this.
Have we people totally lost logic in the midst of having fun on Social Networking Sites?
All this was done by engineering students. Does engineering teach all this and if this is what engineers of the nation are being taught then I'd rather be illiterate.
If people are forgetting qualities of humanity in the veil of 'advancement of technology' then why not shut down all the engineering colleges and open up schools that gives Moral values? Wouldn't that be a better option?
After such an incident, would the victim be able to face anyone in the premises?
Isn't it as worse as rape?
Acts like these can be ghastly, the victim goes through a lot of emotional trauma. Why? What's the fault of the victim, anyway?
Why make mockery of someone to such an extent that life becomes a living hell for that person?
This can actually harm the person in the long run, he/she may lose the confidence of doing something worthwhile.
So, my point of concern is are we losing onto humanity in course of advancing technology? Can we still call ourselves humans? Or are we just technology driven robots? Or even worse than that?
Is revenge the only objective left in our life? Can revenge bring contentment in life? Are we going to bite a dog just because we were bit by it?
Is it high time we gave it a thought?
