In the world of social media, that's what it comes down to. I personally hate facebook, twitter and other social media outlets for reasons like this. I never post pictures or status updates on facebook. I've never tweeted in my life and never will. I think instagram is stupid. Things you say and do on the internet can come back to bite you in the ass later. Is it fair? No probably not. But that's the reality of it.
I read that article on Justine's situation yesterday and while I don't think it's fair what happened to her, I would hope that others learn from it and it sets them straight. It might seem harmless to post some pictures of yourself topless or tweet what's on your mind, but in the world we live in now everyone is connected and you have to be vigilant about what you say/do. The world is full of predators and exploiters and all social media has done is make it easier for them to get that much closer to you. And it's especially bad if you're a woman. Let's face it, tons of guys are perverts and any outlet that gives them a chance to say what's on their mind from behind the safety of a computer monitor in an aggressive way to a woman, their going to do.
