Lawyers and judges made a series of blunders using social websites in 2009. Judges “friended” lawyers they should not have. Lawyers blogged about matters they should not have. The Philadelphia Bar issued an ethics opinion condemning as “deception” a lawyer’s conduct in making a “friend request” of a witness in order to obtain access to the witness’s Facebook page where, it was hoped, the lawyer could find useful evidence. [First edit: The Electronic Frontier Foundation has filed an FOIA suit to obtain government documents, including DOJ documents, relating to investigations, fact-gathering, and surveillance using social websites. If email has been "where the best facts are," then social websites are catching up fast.]
According to me it is Privacy matter, these people should keep their personal an proffesional life apart from each other alos it is misappropriate that people are catching up each other on such sites.
Excellent excellent examples. It seems like people sometimes lose their minds when they go online.
