Why? I don't use Facebook, but visiting people's profiles on social sites doesn't mean much on the other ones. Most of the people I look at on Twitter or Google+ have done something so brazenly spammish that I have to go to their profile to find the "report spam" link or whatever. These people aren't my friends, they're just people that spam me that I want to go away.

Hardly a social disaster.



Well, imagine if you will you were stalking some person you kind of know but not very well, or someone who is an ex-whatever, etc...and that info gets out, and they know. It could spell disaster. Sure, it's entirely the person's fault for stalking in the first place, but the internet enables that so...


You realize he wasn't talking about you, right?
