Privacy In Social Media

Last week a federal judge ordered twitter to turn over account information on three people who are being investigated due to their links to WikiLeaks.

This can be seen as a loss of privacy. When we think of facebook and twitter and other social media network, we think of everyone sharing their personal information with others. But we do have the options of privacy on these social networks. We trust these networks to keep what we want to be private, private.

Now investigators are able to recover information from accounts whenever they please if they think it is going ot help their case.

What all should people be sharing online? Are things like Twitter and facebook helpful or hurtful in our every day lives?
