Facebook used against you!
This is taken from a newspaper a week or two ago… And I would have used its title ‘Facebook doggers suspended’ but you may get the wrong idea!
Two pupils have been suspended from a private school after they were found to be members of a ‘dogging’ group featured in facebook.
The Reigate Grammar School students were punished after adding their details to the Reigate and Redhill Institute of Midnight Dogging page on the networking site.
The group suggests ‘dogging spots’, where couples and groups carry out sexual acts in public places. But school staff said they were confident the pupils had not taken part in any lewd acts.
Now, the 3800 pound-a-term school which counts comedian David Walliams and DJ Fatboy Slim as former pupils is warning pupils of the dangers of social networking sites.
Staff said the students, who have been named, were suspended for bringing the school into disrepute.
They have since terminated their membership of the group, which was founded by a former pupil.
The group was created by James Lindley, who left Reigate Grammar two years ago. In one post on the group’s site, he declares that a mini metro is the best bonnet to ‘do go’.
A spokeswoman said: “We are deeply disappointed to ear of any negative association by a past student”
Just to add, people finding out information that can be used against you is not a new thing at all.
I had a friend who 10-12 years ago had a nasty car accident and had a bad back from whiplash. Insurance usually like to check things out properly. Apparently, they found a picture of her jumping into a river on her geocities webpage! (remember geocities?;)
So moral of the story is you must give as little info about yourself as possible. Something you might have said/done in the past may well come back to haunt you when you least expect it!
How can ears be disappointed :)
[…] Facebook used against you! […]
you don’t know me. but i’m close friends with the founder of the afformentioned facebook group. I’m alos founder of the facebook group protesting the suspensions.
I’d just like to clarify that the “dogging group” wasn’t actually a serious group. the group was obviously humourous
