So lately there’s been a lot of drama revolving around pages created in Facebook.  People are saying hateful things to each other and posting nasty pictures that shouldn’t have been taken in the first place (see my post on sexting if you forgot what’s appropriate!).  It’s certainly easier to say loving or hurtful things Online than to say it face-to-face.  In fact, it’s easier to do a lot of things online that you would probably never do in person. Click below to see an example:

Click HERE to watch The Break In.  Now choose an answer:

a) Break into her page when she’s not around and check her messages.

b)  Hire a private detective

c)  Just ask her.  Her reaction will say it all.

Now, in your blog answer the following questions:

1.  Which answer did you pick first?  Why?

2. Can you think of other things that people do online that they wouldn’t normally do in person?  Give examples.

3. How important is your privacy online?  Do you care if your friends know your passwords?  If you have one, do you let anyone view your Facebook pages?  Explain.
