Infuriating Irony
Its a long article, but this bit stuck out to me as cruelly (to us) ironic:

Hmmm, I take it as he is acknowledging how social platforms, not just his own, can lead to unintended consequences.
The take away, we need to take some responsibility for protecting ourselves. Short form, don't be stupid.

He essentially entices teenagers onto the platform with the digital equivalent of a "free candy" sign. Only years later do they discover that Facebook (or its subsidiaries WhatsApp or Instagram) is preserving their boorish behavior forever.

He may be one of the more successful devils, but he's not the only one. If you prosecuted him and shutdown all of his crap, there would be others to take over. So, you have to take your own personal responsibility.

Neither of my kids or their friends are on it. They think it's for wine drinking moms. The only difference between it and Pelican is the reach. We've all been guilty of posting stuff here we may find some point down the road that we probably should not have. Just because someone gives us a platform to show our stupidity does not mean we have to. I'm in the this is a personal responsibility issue camp.

Emails, and now social posts, live forever. Be careful on what you post. Most/All employers scan for this stuff as part of your background check. What was acceptable once, perhaps will not be in the future. This includes jokes.
FWIW |

Maybe employers should be less interested in other people's business.
Context is everything. Something said at Walmarts would maybe not go over so well if said in church. |
