"We took a vacation to have a nice time to enjoy ourselves. Not to make us splash on an Internet page," Schwartz said. "These pictures are meant for our friends and a joke and for us to keep a memory and not for the world to watch."
As we always like to remind folks, you can use social media however you choose, but if you post anything and everything and you have open privacy settings, you shouldn't be surprised if your pictures fall into the wrong hands or are used in a way you did not intend.
Another interesting anecdote from the article was around "safety" which we've also brought up before...
Alexa Dell, daughter of Dell CEO Michael Dell, had her social media presence quickly scrubbed from the Internet after a photo of her brother on a private plane to Fiji, feasting on a spread of fruit 3-feet deep, made it to the RKOI blog. Bloomberg Businessweek dug into a Dell regulatory filing and reported that the Dell family pays approximately $2.7 million a year for personal security. Between her active Instagram and Twitter accounts, Alexa Dell was leaving a trail of information, including locations and timing of trips, that could have been used by kidnappers or burglars.
