Anything on net is public. That girl who tweeted to assassinate Obama...

[Honeycombe8]

as mentioned in another post....Someone needs to tell that girl that anything on the internet is public. Prospective employers research the internet, looking for objectionable FB, tweets, posts, etc.

Not to mention the Secret Service pays visits for such things, rightly so.

Her name on twitter is Alyssa, BTW. Last name starts with O I think. (Just thought I'd throw that in.)

7. I love how all her retweets

are people sending it to the Secret Service.

Someone is going to have a very bad weekend.

8. JUST TO NOTE, HER ACCOUNT IS NOW GONE

SHE has been removed from the twitter world.

3. If she had half a brain, she'd be a half-wit! n/t

worst enemy.

5. Alyssa Douglas

It's sad that in a country of 300 million people she's not the only person with that name and there are other Alyssa Douglases out there who are perfectly blameless. Meanwhile, the Alyssa Douglas who is NOT blameless who is going to get a knock on the door. What a maroon.

6. Twitter makes me dummer. n/t

9. I saw on another post that she was 16 years old.

I don't think the kid would actually follow through on her threat, but a visit by the SS is still warranted, and maybe a couple days in juvie hall. She needs a real wake-up lesson.

At least she can't vote yet. Hopefully she will do a lot of growing up in the next two years.

12. Not just that, which is a big deal. You never know who means it, and who doesn't. But....

as a young person, she can get by with posting such stuff....maybe...if she really is only 16. But seriously, posting stuff like that could mean she'd lose out on getting hired for a job in the future.

Before I got my last employment, the employer did internet searches on me to see if I had FB account, posts, etc. to see if there was anything objectionable. A risque pic I'd posted, foul language under my own name, etc. When you're using your own name, you are representing your employer out in the internet world. So some places are being careful about that. It also shows what kind of person you are. If you go in all sweet and say you'll work hard, you're a serious student, etc., and then they find posts by you on FB using the F word a lot, posting bikini pics, or overly sexy pics....they'll see the real you.

[Honeycombe8]

11. Good. I think you mean REvoked? nt

[AsahinaKimi]

14. oh yeah!

I tried to find that to fix it, and I lost it in my other messages.. I don't know how I came up with that... My brain is slow in the morning!

13. Nasty girl, but kids shouldn't be tweeting in my opinion

Social media that is accessible to the entire world is just no place for minors. For the most part, teens are too impulsive and too... well, dumb.

[Iris]

16. That's a good point

I was actually thinking if I had a child, I'd start the, using social media as soon as they could type and start giving all the warnings as soon as they could understand. I remembered guidelines and rules my parents set for me as a small child and mostly adhered to them even when I reached an age where I tuned them out.

15. Well, no. I have lots of things "on the Internet" that are not public.

However, not understanding that Twitter is public when your settings are set to ... Er....public, well, that is the sort of digital literacy that should be taught to all kids today.

That said, I made a lot of dumb statements at a teenager and young adult. Fortunatetly, the only people who heard were within hearing distance of my voice.
