I dont see how they would have the resources/time

What for?? To see if they cant figure out who certain applicants are? Seems like that would take even longer than Facebook.some definitely check sdn
According to SDNs cover story...apparently they have ways around this.Seeing as all you have to do is put your profile on private, I don't think there is anything to worry about.
I would. Just to see if the person was dumb enough to make their profile pic something like a beer bong hit.

That security weakness had been fixed months ago.According to SDNs cover story...apparently they have ways around this.
How can they get around privacy preferences?
Intentionally hacking into someones' profile which the perpetrator knows darn well that its been locked as private, is clearly a violation of said persons' privacy.According to SDNs cover story...apparently they have ways around this.
they can't, my profile is only viewable to "my friends", I've tried to access it using other users under my same networks. It's impossible.

But is it legal? If I want my profile to be private, then I would expect that no one would violate my wishes the same as if I don't want anyone spying on me while I'm taking a shower.
Whether it's morally right or not isn't the issue. Putting information about yourself on the internet and saying it's private is the equivalent of taking a shower with a garden hose on a busy street and getting mad at people for "spying" on you. The internet isn't private. Accept it and deal with it.
I think we're all getting past the main issue at hand;
Why the f**k are you using myspace?👎 Maybe if you're 13. Or a pedophile.
two words: privacy preferences.
It is in anyone's best interest to leave incriminating evidence off of the internet. But most people have myspace and facebook accounts to have an easier way to keep in touch with people, which sometimes causes people to be a little more open about there personal life on the internet.
I've been told by many people in the corporate world that myspace and facebook sell your information to data-mining companies, even if your account is set PRIVATE. These companies will then sell your information to government agencies, private companies and public organizations if asked for (it is mostly used for marketing purposes). I don't know how long they store this information, but I know they have access to any images you have ever put up and what you say to people and what people say to you.
I have heard of some companies using myspace and facebook information against applicants for certain job positions. I have also heard the same information being used during the application process to residency programs. Also, my friend who is a lawyer has used myspace information in prosecuting defendants. But I have never heard of adcoms hacking into myspace and facebook accounts to help there admissions decisions.
Basically, be careful what you post on the internet cause you never know when it will come back and bite you in the ***.

There are programs out there that can very easily bypass that.they can't, my profile is only viewable to "my friends", I've tried to access it using other users under my same networks. It's impossible.

Yes but hacking into an account thats restricted(i.e privacy settings) must by all logical means be illegal.
And someone would have to be an idiot to have anything remotely incriminating online. For christs sake, where do you think those "OWN3D" and whatever pictures came from? YOU.Yes but hacking into an account thats restricted(i.e privacy settings) must by all logical means be illegal.
I hear the ADCOM looks at your face book, and if you have less than 100 friends on there, they automatically reject you
i really don't think anyone should be worrying about conspiracy theories here.
i highly doubt the above quote takes place.
my facebook profile pic used to be of me taking a shot from between my girlfriend's breasts at new year's. it's still in my profile pictures album. do you think i should remove it or will case rescind my acceptance??????

oh god, how funny that would be.amcas checks for facebook and myspace pages. They send the link to the schools along with the primary applications.
While I neither participate in illegal activities or do stupid things
let's not get too self-righteous here. everyone has made an illegal lane change and done something stupid 😉
your perspective is appreciated, btw
brb, uploading virtuous pics and setting profile to publicI know at least one person who was asked during interview if she used SDN. My profs told us point blank that they routinely check facebook, myspace before they interview anyone for a job and that probably a lot of employers are doing that these days.
