We’re always hearing about how blogging, Facebook and the internet in general can land you in trouble. It was recently revealed that Proctors at Oxford University have fined graduating students more than £10,000 for post exam celebrations, by collecting photographic evidence from their Facebook profiles. Oxford’s student union called it an in intrusion into student privacy.
This also applies to the world of work though - yes an employer or potential employer looking at your Facebook page may be invading your privacy but it’s a risk you take if you put information about yourself in the public domain. Always be aware that someone can get their hands on that embarrassing picture of you – if you don’t want to suffer the potential consequences it may be worth removing it swiftly!
