I was just discussing Facebook’s latest security features with a friend. One thing you now have the option of doing is posting a status that can be viewable to either all friends or just some friends.
It reminded me of how, when Peter sent a friend request to my friend Annie, upon accepting, she noticed she was blocked from viewing most of his profile. When I him if he was keeping certain things hidden from certain people (possibly photo’s of us, relationship status, etc.), he said no; it must have been a glitch. Immediately following our conversation, however, the glitch corrected itself 
I began thinking about how low my opinion is of this man. And how I can easily see him taking full advantage of these new and improved ’security’ features. I have a new nickname for him; Sneaky Pete. I can imagine him posting one of his ‘…loves Cari’ statuses, only with the new features, I would be the only one able to see it. I would be the only one able to comment on it. His college buddies wouldn’t be able to view it. Or his family. Or his daughter. His little cyber gestures wouldn’t be real gestures at all. Just more scraps.
Then, I started thinking about his many cyber ‘buddies.’ The Jude’s, Angela’s and Elizabeth’s and thought, he could now post one for each of us, and none of us would be the wiser.
Ugh. I feel sick to my stomach.
