Facebook photos freely uploaded by Internet users

The Supreme Court has issued this reminder to Internet users
about the perils of posting online,
saying even those tagged as private
never really escape public viewing,
including unintended audiences.

The Facebook photos, which showed the students drinking and
smoking in a bar, and wearing just undergarments on a street, prompted school officials to ban five
students from marching in their graduation rites in
March 2012.
Supreme Court
Cebu City Regional Trial Court Branch 14 denying the parents’ plea.
The lower court had found that “the photos, having been uploaded on Facebook
without restrictions as to who may view them,
lost their privacy in some way.”
Supreme Court
The Philippines has among the most active populations on Facebook,
with some 30.2 million users as of February 2013.
In 2012, the country was ranked eighth among countries with the most number of
Facebook users, nearly a fifth of whom were teens 13 to 17
years old.
Supreme Court
Some Facebook Rules From Peter:
1. Don’t Post Photos That Magnify Fleshly Passions.
1 Peter 4 2 live for the rest of the time in the
flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.
3 For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.
Sovereign God
2. Remember that We Will All Give an Account to God For Everything We Do.
1 Peter 4 4 With respect to this they are surprised
when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you;
5 but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Sovereign God
3. Be Self-Controlled and Sober-Minded in Posting Anything on Facebook.
1 Peter 4 7 The end of all things
is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded
Sovereign God
