FACEBOOK TASK FORCE
Group created to warn students about what they put on the site
The Missourian article "Student leader faces scrutiny for photo" by Brittany L. Davis talks about Brooke Moody, MU's student vice-president-elect, who had a picture on her Facebook profile of "Moody bound to a chair by duct tape as someone poured beer into her mouth, with other beer cases strewn around in the background." The main issues with this are that Moody is only 19, and whether or not this took place while she was representing the university.
I think the most interesting aspect of this story is at the end, when Davis mentions the creation of a Facebook task force by MU's Student Legal Services and other student organizations. Is this really necessary? Like I've mentioned before, Facebook is not supposed to be this serious. It was created to help maintain contacts and build a social network between colleges and universities throughout the U.S., not to be scrutinized and investigated for every tiny little thing.
