Internet

There has been many cases in which people have gotten into dilemmas with what they post online. Theses posts are mainly on facebook, twitter, myspace, and etc. If these negative posts and comments that these individuals make are found out by a management or company that these individuals work at, they can be punished by their terms.  Most consequences results in losing one's job or even losing a relationship (as mentioned in one of my previous post, media impact)

In this video, a young successful YouTuber, Timothy, tells the story of how his tweets on Twitter got him fired from his weekly job.  His work place and company found a tweet in which Timothy was distasteful of their new uniforms. The company also went through his other older tweets and found another  negative comment that he made. Timothy was then emailed and called in to be fired. Warning: contains mild language.

I think this is a great example of how far social networking sites have exposed most of our personal opinions and life to our professional life. Although we might believe that these posts that we make on the internet is useless or we may believe that no one may read them, in the future we have to be more cautious of what we have to post. But then again, I believe we should have the right of freedom of speech and these corporations have no right to lurk into our personal life.
