Social Media Bill of Rights

I think Lori Andrews goes to far when it comes to her plea for a so called "social media constitution." For me it all comes down to personal responsibility and self control. Rather we like it or not social media and the internet for that matter is meant to be a platform for you to show yourself to the world but unfortunately some of us may show a little to much. Every time we post an unflattering picture to instagram or a crude Facebook status we need to be assuming that our own mothers can see it and we need to think twice before posting them. Or even better set your privacy settings to be as restrictive as possible if your that worried. And even thought I think the idea of schools using this practice goes a bit to far just because we need to expect teenagers and young adults to lack judgement when on social media at some point I personally think a future employer has every right to be interested how a potential employee portrays them self online because by seeing how someone betrays them self online you can judge that persons good judgement or lack there of which is always necessary in a professional situations.
