One of my sisters said her Channel 13 reported this. But, looks like Channel 13 reporters may have gotten punked. Common sense says, anything you yourself make public makes it real tough to threaten prosecution. How can you prosecute someone for damage to your privacy for making public what you yourself put up publicly? Goes around every few years apparently. Still not true, though. See snopes/computer/facebook/privacy.asp L I *think* only hidden, private pages give you any kind of privacy. Years ago someone zealous pushed this threat thing should be on everyones page. Then it spread to other social sites, like for dating. It isnt true for any of them. If you make something public, its public. I always tell them that posting a warning just makes them seem all puffed up and silly -- when posting a warning gives them no legal leverage whatsoever. And in the end, puffed up warnings like that just bait malicious folks into screwing with you, because they know you cant back up your threat.
