Agent 99 " Max, Kaos has this huge machine which will chew everybody up what can we do? " GET SMART.

There is an assumption today that once anything is posted on any media site that it becomes part of the public domain. E-mails, Facebook, Twitter, Wikileaks, cellphone pictures etc. are sites that are accessed millions of times a day. Courts have routinely allowed access to e-mail as part of standard court proceedings. What would make postings on Twitter or Facebook be any different. This is not limited to the USA or even the West. It is routinely done in Russia, China, and other countries. Stupidity has never been allowed as a defense in court. Just like letter writing...if you want to keep it secret...don't write it.

Good =A private life is not allowed in America and its European "CLONES" Saying the person is stupid is not the point .Do you not realise that you are advocating its okay for the American government to MONITOR every American and all the people in the world if they are "stupid" and post on social websites.There is no "half way house" when it comes to the law especially in America.This is just the continuing "saga" of America taking TOTAL communicative control of the world and those that dont agree with this are REBELS in the US eyes doesnt matter that they are imposing American law on the world which is illegal .Look at the one-sided extradition laws in the UK =So much for the "mother of parliaments" the high moral stance has been rubbished  by America So you think if a person makes a comment, or admits guilt on facebook/twitter it shouldn't be able to be used in court, because thats their private life?

Normally I would be mad, but I followed this kid on Twitter after I read your last story and he came off like a total goober. If it happened to anyone else I'd be upset. 
The bums lose.
