Don't want pictures of yourself doing crazy shit? Don't do crazy shit. Want to live a life not worried about what some idiot employer is going to think about your lifestyle? Then do just that. Stop blaming Facebook for your lifestyle choices and your inability to live with them.
- jdp23 16y agowhen i grew up i did plenty of crazy shit. sometimes i still do. and i like sharing it with my friends. but that doesn't mean i want to share it with all my family members, potential future colleagues, and employers. Facebook claims that i can control who i share it with, but in practice their constant changes to defaults, confusing user experience, and bugs mean that i can't. Facebook has lied to me -- and their other 500,000,000 users. stop blaming me and letting them off the hook.
- LiveTheDream 16y agoThere's a world of difference between some friends seeing a kegstand picture, or your boss seeing it. In real life, segmenting your groups of connections is a natural and fairly easy thing to do. When your college buddies and your coworkers are both "facebook friends" the line is blurred in a way that does not represent real life. It's not obvious to everyone how much information they expose via their Facebook account.
