OT: Can't keep it in pants+ Can't keep it off Facebook= Happy plaintiff divorce attorneys - pRICE cUBE - 07-12-2010

Oversharing on social networks has led to an overabundance of evidence in divorce cases. The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers says 81 percent of its members have used or faced evidence plucked from Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other social networking sites, including YouTube and LinkedIn, over the last five years.
"Oh, I've had some fun ones," said Linda Lea Viken, president-elect of the 1,600-member group. "It's very, very common in my new cases."
Facebook is the unrivaled leader for turning virtual reality into real-life divorce drama, Viken said. Sixty-six percent of the lawyers surveyed cited Facebook foibles as the source of online evidence, she said. MySpace followed with 15 percent, followed by Twitter at 5 percent.

I sent the AP version of that to my hopefully-soon-to-be-divorced brother last week. Kind of a reminder to him that he might want to police his Facebook page before he files papers.

Can you imagine presidential elections in the future when campaigns pull up 30 year old facebook posts from high school for attack ads...

My GF's best friend was going on and on on her Facebook account about her new boyfriend LONG before her divorce was final. Just a month after she filed, she posted one pick of them taken "a few months ago", at an event with a dated sign in the photo.

The "What the H--- was I thinking?!!" is on the rise.
Hal,
All it takes is one politician to start it off.

This could serve as Exhibit A/B/C/D/E/F/whatever in my ongoing "people are stupid" argument.
