If school's administration monitor students posting on their facebook? - Nick - 11-09-2012 06:09 PM

if you attended such a school where school's administration monitors students posting on their facebook, will you attend that school? in other word if school checks your every single comments in your facebook account, will you agree with that rule?
why? or why not?

I agree with it. The student is ultimately responsible for what he or she puts on their Facebook account. Posting your status as, "Dude, I really need some munchies b/c it's 4:20," on Facebook while you attend a school that will kick you out if you are doing drugs is not a smart idea. People have developed an unrealistic expectation of internet privacy. They act as if cyberspace anonymity is a right and most of the time abuse it to satisfy their own means. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter -- how "private" are social gathering sites open to the public anyway?

Getting back on task, let's say a student "fell victim" to this administrative ploy. I find it very hard to believe that an intelligent person would try to argue that their privacy has been compromised when they themselves were the leak of information. Then again, if you are using a social gathering site open to the public to shout your secrets to all your online buddies, you're probably a few gumdrops short of a gingerbread house.
