Be careful what you post on facebook

Recommended Posts

Always assume anything you put online will get back to the person you talk about, ALWAYS.

I'm amazed at how little thought people put into the idea that the unintended (wrong) person (s) will end up reading what they pt onto an Internet Networking site like Facebook.

Pics as well.

I'm surprised I'm still able to access FB (and MSH for that matter) in the heavily coporate environment I currently work in.

I get MSH, but no Bookface. Thankfully as well, as I honestly beleive I would get sweet F all done with that little cherry available.

Bookface Be-Jeweled sucks me in everytime. ;)

I hate these people who put every part of there personal life on facebook. I hate it more when your at a party and a girl runs up and tries to get a picture of you and her or you and everyone for facebook. Its a social networking site, not a place to impress your friends by taking pictures of yourself drinking. I have one guy on there who keeps me entertained, talking about all the drugs he does, how hes f-ed up his life and how he was willing to cut off his own finger if his girlfriend didnt take him back .. i didnt believe any of it .. until he posted pictures after surgery.

i was suprised to see how many pictures there were of me on facebook, without even holding an account.

I do believe I have some old Prom pics, me being Hagrid at a Harry Potter movie, and me in Germany, but nothing newer than 3 years old. Camera + me = broken camera. Take that Big Brother trying to use Facebook to keep tabs on America!

I try and untag myself from most, especially at parties and that kind of thing. You never know whos going over all your pictures and its a little bit disturbing considering how many perverts and stuff there are out there.

Another reason to keep your profile "Private" to anyone other than approved friends... A person I was working with was caught up in an investigation concerning some bar fight he was involved in. They pressed charges and when he name was released, the local newspaper went onto his myspace and facebook pages and dug up a lot of old stuff that could have looked less than favorable. They used small clips of past posts to portray this guy as a reckless frat boy that "boasted about past fights". Despite the fact that this "frat boy fighter", had never gone to college and his past "fights" were in reference to posts he made almost two years ago that jokingly said "I'll slap you like rick james!" Gotta love small town media that have more focus on the police blotter than World Affairs.

I've heard many say that employers may check out social networking sites of potential new hires. Now although I've never heard of specific examples or known of any company that had this type of HR hiring policy, seems best to play it safe.

I know for a fact to do with hockey many scouts actually check prospects facebooks and stuff. One scout called my buddy and asked him if he was a partyer and he replied no... Little did he know the scout had looked at his facebook... that answer backfired pretty quick

My FB doesn't contain my real surname + always on private. For the very reason that I don't want any of the following looking at it...

- Prospective employers

- douchebags I went to H school with

- Ex girlfriends

- Current girlfriends

- My parents

- Anyone else who thinks its fun to use my private life against me.

I don't care where you live, a basic human liberty, that should always be upheld is that of privacy.

The other side of the equation is Facebook is a great way to reconnect with friends, particularly for those of us who are older and lost contact over the years. Consequently, if people are smart about what they post or what pictures they upload, they really shouldn't care whether other people saw their page.

I have some relatives on (including an aunt who is ultra-conservative and very close with my mother) so I do have to be careful about what I post... the worst part is the non-sense your teenage friends post even when you are being careful.
