This is going to become an increasing issue given the number of social networking sites available and the dependence by young people to communicate in this forum. Personally, it is my opinion that anything I put on these public networking sites can easily be accessible to sophisticated internet users. In essence, I do not trust the privacy and security settings that they proclaim.

There was a good feature on Hungry Beast (ABC) ast night where they raised the issue of your digital legacy and who has access to your digital life after you die and just what your heirs may see, that you thought private.
