Sanity Check Number twenty-three:
Do you realise that anything you post in
public may have a worldwide audience?
Unless you secure them, your pages can
be public places. Anything you post there
might be read by others, whether friends
or not.
Strangers can sometimes post on your
page as well, potentially saying anything
they choose about you or your friends.
There have been many cases of online
bullying that exploit this loophole. One of
the most serious involved a convicted
Internet Troll named Sean Duffy. He
posted offensive comments on the tribute
pages of teenagers who had committed
suicide. You can read about the Duffy
case
