Another Reason to LOCK your Twitter/Facebook


lock_green1

We’ve warned you repeatedly about publicly posting incriminating photos or status updates on social networking sites. Exes, parents, spouses, current and potential employers, teachers, coaches and run of the mill psychos have all earned recognition as social networking stalkers.


According to the Wall Street Journal, an ominous and more terrifying entity is beginning cyber stalk its targets through sites like Facebook and MySpace. In order to collect outstanding revenue, the IRS has been monitoring social networking home pages of evasive debtors in order to track down, and effectively collect their money. 

Although the IRS hasn’t publicly commented on its investigative Web practices, state tax collection agents in Minnesota, Nebraska, and California have all reportedly located, and collected thousands of dollars from, elusive swindlers and shysters based on ill-conceived status updates or public posts. Other states said to be considering the implementation of these surveillance techniques include Oregon and Wisconsin.

Some states restrict their departments’ collection of Web information to that taken from publicly accessible pages. So, if you want your affairs to remain private (especially if those affairs are illegal), KEEP YOUR PROFILES LOCKED…ESPECIALLY IF  YOU USE YOUR REAL NAME…But seriously isn’t some of this just common sense!

    The data that nanny cams can return you is invaluable. Catch a partner who is cheating on you when you’re gone off to work – This is a lots cheaper alternate to engaging a private detective. In some states proof that a spouse is cheating might effect the result of a divorce dispute.

    Nice to see that there are blog owners that care about their blogs and not post all kind of useless stuff but rather try to keep it clean and valuable for the sake of their subscribers. You’ve done a great job and i thank you for that and also for not traumatizing me with useless garbage and spam.You know, if you look for new ways to promote and improve you blog, i’ve open myself a corner of cyberspace and i would like to share it with you and your visitors, because it’s a good chance for anyone to learn how they can promote their websites and any online business if they have any for free or very low costs.I’m still getting it done and working on it as we speak, so it’s not as i wish but it’s a work in progress that already has value to it.

    Nice blog. I got a lot of great info. I’ve been following this technology for awhile. It’s interesting how it keeps varying, yet some of the core components remain the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their latest acquisition in the domain?
