Social Networking Help?

With all the talk about the many social networking sites, the discussion about surveillance of these sites has finally come about. We mentioned it briefly in class on Thursday, about certain companies that are willing to monitor the Web for an individual to make sure that no incriminating information is published without knowledge of the publications. Although the details of the service are sketchy, meaning we don't know what payment or the contract agreement would be, it seems the idea is good and should be adopted. There is a lot of really ignorant people that post random pieces of information on the internet, and there is a lot of simply dumb people that post all of that information knowing full well the consequences. Sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference between the two types, but if people are conscious enough to realize they are at risk but are naive with electronics, a service such as this can prevent many problems related to identity and information distribution. Again, this type of service has many gray areas in concept right now, but I think it can prevent innocent people when they don't know any better.
