Rule no 1: If you post something online, chances are that it will "never" get deleted at all......

Kids, teens and adults need to know this before posting "personal" photographs to social networking sites.

And every stupid thing I've every written is there somewhere too.

FB. terms and conditions cover this rule, that is why only allow people over 16 to create an account (obviously this isn't happening) and nobody read rules. Come on, are just like.... 5K words?

. Seriously, they should clear things like this up over other less important.

That's why you shouldn't completely trust personal data to the hands of others.
