Norms and Responsibilies

I worry about students and their perception that they are sometimes untouchable and completely safe behind a screen.  In a digital world, it is easy to speak freely without little regard for the impact of our words now and in the future.  As it has become common practice for employers to view social media accounts when hiring, college coaches previewing recruits social media accounts, it is a reality that their words, and repostings could come back and be used against them.  Although I agree that they should be given the right to free speech, they need to know and understand consequences.
