Online social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are great innovations and offer students the opportunity to interact with and learn more about an extraordinary array of people. If used in the appropriate manner these online networks take advantage of the Internet as never before. You need to take great responsibility in what you post. No one is going to limit those people authorized to use the Internet from seeing what you post online. In other words, you have absolutely no expectation of privacy. With no expectation of privacy must come the understanding you could expose yourself to someone who may not have the same values, assumptions about appropriate behavior, or that may put yourself at risk as a victim of criminal behavior. You must also be concerned about the privacy of others. Be careful that you do not post anything that could be considered defamatory, libelous, or violate any codes of conduct contained in this handbook.
