#412 Don't Post It If You Don't Want It On the Internet

Chelsea holds it in for a pic with Snoop.
Administrator uses student’s bikini photo in Internet safety seminar which, of course, horrifies her because she only intended for her friends to see the photo.

This demonstrates a rather fundamental lack of understanding about how the internet and digital information actually works.

And, as a result, Chelsea Chaney, the blond sucking in her belly for the photo on the right there, is suing the administrator for $2 million. Yeah. Because a photo she put on her Facebook page and accessible by anyone with a computer was used without her permission or knowledge.

Chelsea, you posted the photo, you didn't restrict access to it and now you're upset because your own hubris caused you some discomfort (which the cynical voice in me thinks you're trying to parlay into a career through this national exposure).

Honestly, after watching part of the video on the link, I have less sympathy for her than I did before. Her whole attitude is lame and she's much better looking with her sunglasses on and her mouth closed or smiling. Listening to her talk made me want the judge to rule against her AND fine her $50,000 for wasting the court's time.

If you do not want a picture to be used on the internet then do not upload it to the internet. If this picture of her had been stolen and posted without her knowledge then she MIGHT have a case. But she posted it herself and without locking it down because she assumed good ol' Facebook had her back (pro tip, Facebook is not in business for you, just your data).

If you post it on the internet, it pretty much ceases to be your property to control. And complaining about it will NOT make it go away, it'll make your problems much worse, even more so if a site like 4Chan gloms on to it. Then mild embarrassment is the least of your problems, they'll photoshop you into a porn and send it to your dad's co-workers for the lulz.

#355 The Internet Isn't Really Anonymous, Dumbass

NY fugitive taunts police on Facebook to catch him

Nice work, Victor Burgos, you thought you'd rub it in to the cops that they couldn't catch you because you're such a master criminal (who beats up and harasses women). So you went on Facebook and taunted them and then they showed up to arrest your dumb, dumb ass.

One less idiot criminal mastermind on the streets. Thank goodness he was kind enough to post enough about his crimes to make it easier to catch him, prosecute him and send his dumbass away.

#340 Do Not Deface Tribute Pages for Dead Children

Hello, I am an asshole who griefs the families of dead children.
Australian Sentenced to Year in Jail for Defacing Children Facebook Page Tributes

Bradley Paul Hampson describes himself as a troll, he spends his free time surfing the internet looking for people to grief, bother, irritate or otherwise get a negative reaction from. Why? Because he's an asshole who was probably raised by some parents who were assholes. Bonus, he looks like a smirky asshole too!


What he decided to do was to grief some parents who'd put up some tribute pages to their children who'd recently passed away. One child was the victim of a murder, the other drowned in a drain. Seriously, what kind of a fucking piece of shit gets their jollies by being an asshole to people who are mourning the loss of their child? 


And, because Bradley is such a bottom dwelling piece of shit, he used the name of someone he used to go to school with to deface the Facebook pages. Nice.


Here's hoping that during his year long incarceration for rampant douchebaggery he gets to suffer the pain he inflicted on grieving parents and relatives for his own pathetic and twisted jollies. And that, when he gets out, he finds something more positive to do with his time than inflict more harm to people who are already suffering.

Note: Yes, I hate Facebook with a passion but I hate assholes even more and yes, I'm aware that Mark Zuckerberg is an asshole too, its part of why I refuse to use Facebook.
