University of Minnesota Cops Admits to Snooping Through Facebook Pages
I'll probably get a parking ticket the next time that I'm at the campus as a result of writing about this, but then so will my MN Headhunter buddy. News from our alma mater is that the University of Minnesota Police Department and other campus officials freely admit to looking at the Facebook pages of students as part of their criminal and other investigations.
Nationally, only about 25 percent of colleges and universities admit to searching Facebook pages for evidence. I've suspected for a long time that the number is far higher and it seems that the, ahem, evidence of that is starting to emerge.
Candidates (and that means everyone): this is a great reminder that you shouldn't post anything on-line that you wouldn't want to show to your favorite grandmother because posting information on-line is like getting a tattoo. Once you do it, you can never get rid of it.
