Find Me, Fine Me, Fire Me
There's been quite a bit of buzz lately about people who are dumb enough to put incriminating stuff on Facebook and then get caught. Underage drinking, rushing the field after a football game, setting up a white supremacist group "as a joke." It's hard to have sympathy for anyone dumb enough to let the world search his or her profile for these incriminating tid-bits when it's so easy to set your privacy at a more discreet level. Although it sucks when you have done so and someone else hasn't, and they've got a picture of you spraying graffiti on a public monument or something. Still, I have no sympathy. Protect yourself, know who your friends are, and if you don't, don't let them snap incriminating shots of you, or wall stuff about how you cheated on your exams, taxes, etc. End of story.

There's nothing stopping anything from posting anything they want about someone else anywhere they want on the internet. You can't truy know other's motives, nor can you stop someone from taking a picture if they want. I suppose the answer is to not do anything you might regret later, but that doesn't sound too plausible...
Ah, so. It's the irrefutable evidence that does you in though. Hearsay is one thing, but when there's a picture, or a video, or words you've written yourself the real incriminating shit hits the fan.
