DEATH TO FACEBOOK or YOUR FUTURE?
By: Anonymous




I've had enough! I'm removing my FACEBOOK profile, and I'm glad I don't have to worry about MYSPACE! THIS IS BULLSHIT!

I want to make the purpose of this article as clear as a wet-t-shirt: You're incriminating pictures on FACEBOOK WILL HURT YOU! Maybe not this second, but one day. Even as I waste my time trying to convince YOU a reader who will likely not do shit about the blunts you're smoking on your profile, or the pictures people post of you as you stumble around blacked out of your mind- individuals are saving YOUR incriminating pictures for their future benefit.

Think about it! Have you ever heard of blackmail? How many individuals have political aspirations at the U? Are you one of them? All it takes is one person who knows you're going to be someone one day to save 1 dirty/incriminating/whatever picture from you from FACEBOOK, and you're likely to be either paying them off or getting screwed [ed. not literally]. It's a lose lose situation.

Go to apply for a job, anywhere in Miami, and I'm telling you there is like a 90% chance they will find a way to look at your FACEBOOK profile, even if it's listed as private. The same goes for MYSPACE, but MYSPACE is even easier to get on to.

The point is simple, think of these social sites as the cloths you wear. Just as you wouldn't wear a "Got Beer" shirt to a job interview, don't incriminate yourself on social web pages. And if you have any political aspirations, you REALLY NEED TO BE CAREFUL.
