New Blog Entry!

Should Facebook postings be public or private? Sometimes, users post pictures or videos or comments for friends which end up having far-reaching consequences. Should Facebook postings meant to be "private," be allowed to be used for making admissions decisions, employment decisions, disciplinary decisions, etc.
