Interesting. I'm beginning to wonder if the real problem with social media is just beginning to finally become apparent - ie. old fashioned blackmail and extortion. For example anyone half competent in Photoshop can create highly embarrassing/compromising fake photos and demand payment with the threat that they'll show your spouse. Or fake evidence of corrupt behaviour and use that to blackmail senior public servants or senior managers in companies, knowing they'll lose their jobs.

What I have never understood is why so many have the urge to disclose so much online, yet they wouldn't reveal the same to a stranger on the street.
