In general Facebook and related technologies seem to be in an intermediate phase where users have not quite figured out public/private issues. I imagine as episodes like this happen, girl students will wise up and, groups like this, not to mention photos of students holding big fat spliffs, will gradually disappear from Facebook. ACC Prof, at 1:00 pm EST on February 14, 2006 Part of girl what amazes me about the people (particularly undergraduates) who use Facebook is that they forget that others- professors, TAs, dept. heads, girl academic advisors- can use it too. Anyone with a “school” e-mail address can sign up. What you post is NOT private- something these 3 girls learned the hard way. They meant what they said and they wanted it to be seen- why else create a group? Sure they’re sorry now- because they got pointed out. Someone pointed the finger at them and raised the red flag. Instead of writing obscenities online, these girls should get a dictionary and look up the definition of “libel"- and then think about whether they got what they deserved.
