I don't understand where people got the initial idea that writing in an online format meant their words wouldn't have real consequences.

Also libel would always have been banned in any half decent uni computing regs anyway (I know, I used to draft em:-) so this isn't really news at all, just scaremongering (but right enough couldn't resist posting it!)

People really OUGHT to read TOS before they agree to them, that much is certain.

What would it have to do with computing regs, per se? Most students nowadays would be posting from home at least some of the time...

..and if they're using uni email address, or uni website, still subject to it.. or when they ARE posting at uni..

Of course, might not be!

Hence why I'm not on facebook, myspace or any of those things (although I accidentally have a profile that doesn't say anything on Bebo from a few years back), and my LJ doesn't have my identity on it anywhere.
