I have a problem with this...
From that news article, near the bottom: They're called privacy settings for a reason. Find them. Get to know them. Use them. Keep up when Facebook decides to change them.
This advice is good. But, somehow, I find that of all places that it could be, this is the one where it's misplaced. Sounds like wanting to help people keep custody of kids that they should so not have custody of.
It just somehow seemed wrong.
This is, after all, evolutiong showing it's teeth. Shall we protect the criminally inane to the point that they take over the world? 
I have a problem
with you replying to maxwell's 'Goooal' thread again, after it finally dropped off the bottom of the list and quit distorting the Discussions page for the first time this week. 
:)
of course it does Tink,
and add in the aircars and we have social networking making it easy for people to kill themselves off, they being to stupid to know not to fly into a mountainside. 
Does Social Networking dumb down society's intelligence?

Seriously, are people really stupid enough to think that posting a picture of themselves doing something they're not supposed to or being with someone they shouldn't be with is NOT going to come back to haunt them?
Posting online isn't the same as handing out photo prints to all your friends, its like sending out a mass mailing of said photo prints to the world!
People like this only prove the fact that society in general has lost much of its common sense, privacy awareness and overall intelligence. No wonder kids these days don't have a clue about what not to post on their social networks, their parental units are completely clueless too!
