one thing that I would hope you agree with is there has been a sharp decline in today's youth learning the simple life lesson of: for anything you do or say, there usually will be a consequence... particularly when it comes to FB.
Now, regardless of what settings someone uses, or how someone can try to argue how it should be private; I'm confused at the disconnect people have in understanding that what they post online is in fact not private, and as you pointed out, is forever.
Farmtown? emoticons? yeah, Universities looking at that is a little extreme. But, as the original article pointed out, Franklin Roberts was specific in naming the reason they were revoking admittance was due to content in her Facebook page.
I'm wondering what exactly they saw/found. I'm inclined to think that because they were that open about why they were denying, whatever was in there was of enough substance for their decision to have merit?
Ironic though, that something originally intended solely for college kids is now keeping them out of college.
