In Your Facebook

It seems pretty obvious that some problems regarding privacy and freedom of speech have come from facebook related issues. Facebook can hurt students in a number of ways, including the loss of potential employers and negative legal actions from the posting of "inappropriate" pictures or remarks. Is this okay though? Is it acceptable for the authorities to hold these things against students. While it is very discomforting that this type of stuff happens, I believe that it is up to the students to ensure that any "inapropriate" items don't fall into the wrong hands by limiting the people that can access your account. While this may not be the best long-term answer for these issues, it is important for students to safeguard themselves. Hopefully, stronger privacy policies will be created for facebook and other similar sites.
