    Data shared is data glared and the whole world is ready to see what a person is socially about. Its a situation that has a lot of people worried after they are usually suffering the consequences of freely putting out their information for the world to see. It seems that these popular user friendly social site are conditioning the average user to do so and the government eye is also watching.
  •  
    I couldn't agree with this article anymore! We complain about how we have no privacy from the government and everything we do or say is being monitored but then we go an post very personal and open things on Facebook and Twitter for everyone to see. It's okay for us to do it to ourselves but once the government does something we immediately put all the blame on them.
  •  
    I agree 100% with what this article is saying. How can we complain about living in a "big brother" society, when we post every aspect of our lives on social media websites? I see some postings on Facebook from people that literally record every hour of their day, from the time they wake up, to the time they log off and go to bed.
  •  
    I think this article is ideal to make people aware, because when regarding social networks, who really reads the privacy policies and such? That being said, this is a scary thing. Sometimes we don't even realize we're posting our location all over the web.
  •  
    This article is eye opening. Most of us use social media to stay connected to friends and family. I'm sure I have been guilty of similar situations.
  •  
    wow this article really opened my eyes to how much I use and rely on social media without considering the all risk.
  •  
    It is amazing how much information people put out there. At work, we have to take compliance courses every year. Just last year, they added a couple of modules on social media, and what is expected of you in relation to the information about work that you put out there.

    When people sign up for an account on a social media website, they agree to terms in which it states that your information could be used for anything they wish for.

    Social media is similar to high school, both false information and information you don't want getting out can and will spread fast and the truth doesn't always get out.

What Your Social Media Reputation Says to Employers | Fox Business - 4 views

  •  
    This site tells how companies are researching possible employees by there social media reputation.
  •  
    Since I'm not the most social person by nature, I'm not very active with social media. I don't have a Facebook, or Twitter, or whatever. So, if anyone tries to Google me, there's not much that comes up. Hmm, I wonder if that could backfire if a potential employer can't find any information on me by using social media.
  •  
    I don't believe that employers should be concerned of a potential or current employees social media sites.

Job Seekers: Employers Are Watching You on Social Media - WSJ.com - 0 views

  •  
    An article by the Wall Street Journal on how social media can and has effected peoples abilities to get jobs.

    Social networking sites have definitely begun to play a role in getting a job. I think before you post a picture or statement on your Facebook or Twitter think twice if it will ever effect you in the long run. If its risky it probably something you shouldn't be putting online anyway.
  •  
    People do need to realize that how they portray themselves on social networking sites, portray who they may be as a perspective employee. Companies don't want to take risks of hiring someone that may damage the company's reputation. It's called being responsible.
  •  
    Psychologically it is said that we have many social scripts, in other words we do not act the same exact way around our parents as we do our boss or our friends. Companies that use social media are attempting to view how you live your life outside of work, how you act out that social script. But why should that matter? Regardless if you put pictures of Saturday night drinking it does not mean that this who you are in the office, they are two completely different script and for the general population they are unrelated.
  •  
    I think employers should look at social media networks, people should always present themselves in a professional look, because there behaviors affect the company, on the clock or off

  •  
    It has happened in many cases, where people get raped because of the pictures that they post so i would suggest that everybody thinks twice about what they post before they do.
  •  
    There is a new show on MTV about a killer who finds his victims on a social media/dating app.While this takes it to an extreme it's ideas are not far fetched.
  •  
    I would think this is common sense, only post what you feel like you wouldn't mind everyone seeing, that includes your boss, teacher,etc...
  •  
    When posting anything on social media you have to accept the fact that everyone and anyone will and can see it. Also, there's no going back! Once it's out there it will most likely always be out there.
  •  
    Social has become a little too invasive. I enjoy social networking but sometimes it is way more information than I want to know about someone.

Revealed: US spy operation that manipulates social media | Technology | The Guardian - 0 views

  •  
    The US military is developing software that will let it secretly manipulate social media sites by using fake online personas to influence internet conversations and spread pro-American propaganda. A Californian corporation has been awarded a contract with United States Central Command (Centcom), which oversees US armed operations in the Middle East and Central Asia, to develop what is described as an "online persona management service" that will allow one US serviceman or woman to control up to 10 separate identities based all over the world. The project has been likened by web experts to China's attempts to control and restrict free speech on the internet. Critics are likely to complain that it will allow the US military to create a false consensus in online conversations, crowd out unwelcome opinions and smother commentaries or reports that do not correspond with its own objectives
