How Can Posted Information Be Used• Cookies from advertisers can track computer usage and information.• Inappropriate and illegal content can be subpoenaed.• Advertisers can use information for soliciting emails.• Providing personal information (i.e. address, room number, schedule etc.)

can leave you vulnerable to theft and stalking.• The internet is a public domain. Materials can be used inappropriately,

leaving the owner liable.• Students can become addicted to updating and checking their profiles,

which could negatively impact academic success.• Information posted that violates the student conduct code may be used

against them in a student judicial hearing.

It is important to note:Potential employers, local and campus police, and University administrators

can log onto these on-line social networks and view the information that students make available. Students Beware, the information you post may jeopardize your future aspirations.

Protective order in cases of stalking and acts of violence

§ 19.2-152.10. Protective order in cases of stalking and acts of violence. • A. The court may issue a protective order pursuant to this chapter to protect the health and safety of

the petitioner and family or household members of a petitioner upon (i) the issuance of a warrant for a criminal offense resulting in a serious bodily injury to the petitioner, or a violation of § 18.2-60.3, (ii) a hearing held pursuant to subsection D of § 19.2-152.9, or (iii) a conviction for a criminal offense resulting in a serious bodily injury to the petitioner, or a violation of § 18.2-60.3.

• 1. Prohibiting criminal offenses that may result in injury to person or property, or acts of stalking in violation of § 18.2-60.3;

• 2. Prohibiting such contacts by the respondent with the petitioner or family or household members of the petitioner as the court deems necessary for the health or safety of such persons; and

Protective order in cases of stalking and acts of violence

• E. Any judgment, order or decree, whether permanent or temporary, issued by a court of appropriate jurisdiction in another state, the United States or any of its territories, possessions or Commonwealths, the District of Columbia or by any tribal court of appropriate jurisdiction for the purpose of preventing violent or threatening acts or harassment against or contact or communication with or physical proximity to another person, including any of the conditions specified in subsection A, shall be accorded full faith and credit and enforced in the Commonwealth as if it were an order of the Commonwealth, provided reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard were given by the issuing jurisdiction to the person against whom the order is sought to be enforced sufficient to protect such person's due process rights and consistent with federal law. A person entitled to protection under such a foreign order may file the order in any appropriate district court by filing with the court, an attested or exemplified copy of the order. Upon such a filing, the clerk shall forward forthwith an attested copy of the order to the local police department or sheriff's office which shall, upon receipt, enter the name of the person subject to the order and other appropriate information required by the Department of State Police into the Virginia Criminal Information Network system established and maintained by the Department pursuant to Chapter 2 (§ 52-12 et seq.) of Title 52.

• Upon inquiry by any law-enforcement agency of the Commonwealth, the clerk shall make a copy available of any foreign order filed with that court. A law-enforcement officer may, in the performance of his duties, rely upon a copy of a foreign protective order or other suitable evidence which has been provided to him by any source and may also rely upon the statement of any person protected by the order that the order remains in effect.

• F. Either party may at any time file a written motion with the court requesting a hearing to dissolve or modify the order. Proceedings to modify or dissolve a protective order shall be given precedence on the docket of the court.

• G. Neither a law-enforcement agency, the attorney for the Commonwealth, a court nor the clerk's office, nor any employee of them, may disclose, except among themselves, the residential address, telephone number, or place of employment of the person protected by the order or that of the family of such person, except to the extent that disclosure is (i) required by law or the Rules of the Supreme Court, (ii) necessary for law-enforcement purposes, or (iii) permitted by the court for good cause.

• H. No fees shall be charged for filing or serving petitions pursuant to this section. • I. As used in this section, "copy" includes a facsimile copy. • (1997, c. 831; 1998, cc. 569, 684; 1999, c. 371; 2002, cc. 507, 810, 818; 2003, c. 730.)

Questions• Using your name as a password and having it written

down in your desk is safe.• What group of viewers might misuse your profile

information?• Users know messages I send are not serious and there

is no reason for concern.• Which Commonwealth of Virginia laws could be enforced

with on-line social networking?• The University administration intentionally sweeps on-

line networks to “catch” students?• As an NSU student you could be subject to a judicial

hearing on campus if there is a violation of the student code of conduct because of information posted on-line?
