If you went onto the NHS website would you expect to see articles from medical students posting confidential details about patients? If the answer was no (which it should have been) then tell me why people feel like they can write absolutely anything on sites like Facebook and Twitter? They're still in the public domain, they're still globally available documents and yet users appear to get this sense of personal privacy from them, like it's an untouchable area.
Recently criticised medical students tweeting away private medical records aren't the only ones who have fallen into this trap. High profile politicians and sports stars have also found themselves in trouble over their inability to curve what is said on their Twitter feed. Where does this sense of security come from? It's like gossiping down the pub but having someone taking minutes of what was said.
Still, it's incredibly useful for those wishing to track business activity, it's like being able to peer through a blacked out window, so long may it continue I say. Keep on gossiping, you crazy, crazy people!
