Acting with unfair punishments in school and in jobs, doesn’t necessarily prevent

students and employees from repeating harmless acts on the internet. If online sources are a place
for members to freely share what is on their minds, then why are companies hovering over their
workers about what they post (Keegan 4)? Whatever happened to the freedom of speech? Why
should companies be invading people’s privacy? If school administrators say they don’t go
searching for trouble, than how come a twenty-two year old student was kicked out of school just
because he posted pictures of himself dressed in drag (Kornblum 7)?

Not only does internet monitoring bring about unfair punishments, but it also breaks the
foundation of trust between employees and companies. If social networking sites were created
for the private use of users and not meant to be tampered with by authorities, then how come
two swimmers from Louisiana State were thrown off from the team just for criticizing their
coach (Kornblum 11)? I am guessing that the coach can’t handle a little criticizing? So does that
mean every person that criticizes their peers should be kicked out of school, thrown off teams,
and be fired? People don’t know if the people posting things are sarcastic or kidding. If online
communities are a fantastic resource for people and students, than why are flight attendants
being monitored about what they post (Keegan 3)? What is the big deal about posting who you
are flying with? It is not like it is a bad thing to say that you are flying with the president or a
famous person. Do the companies not trust their flight attendants enough to post things online so
they have to hover and get into their personal business?
