Quote From: shadycat1 I was actually debating this the other day on another site. I admit to being on FaceBook, and my setting is set to JUST FRIENDS, however, I am NOT naive enough to think that no one else could view it if they chose to, therefore there is NOTHING too personal on it, even the city isn't the correct one (right province wrong city), it is after all a PUBLIC FORUM.
I've seen other pages, out there for all to see, and quite frankly, no I would NOT want my business or organization being represented in that way, how shocking would it be to be on FaceBook and see a half nude pic of your child's teacher ? If you wouldn't do it publically, well that's what myspace and facebook are , PUBLIC FORUMS.
On the other side of the coin, EVERYONE is entitled to a life outside of their jobs, and EVERYONE is entitled to let lose once and awhile, but we do have to be aware of potential repercussions of our actions whether in the real world or online, if you say teach in a conservative community, table dancing at the local bar probably wouldn't be a great idea.
I can't BELIVE that with all the warnings people have been given, there are still many who put very PERSONAL info online for ALL to see, but I will say if you don't want it seen, keep it off FaceBook and MySpace, its that simple, and we should all be more aware that these pics and other things can be seen by EVERYONE.
"we do have to be aware of potential repercussions of our actions whether in the real world or online" i totaly agree people should be aware of there actions we have to listen to our mind
