Also, forget the privacy things -- how embarrassing will it be when all the sexting photos come up for air? Especially when someone does get a modicum of success -- they always will, especially the spicy photos. With regards to images coming up on Google and HR directors scrubbing the Social Networks for nasty, compromising, photos, it will keep people from getting jobs, yes, until EVERYONE has photos like that and the only people who may well be hire-able are boring, chaste, and hyper-religious people -- and then people will get past the naughty photos and go back to hiring smart, capable, intelligent, and experience, cool, people instead of boring straight-edged zealots who are stunted at 6th grade. What you say? Well, the same thing happened to the US Intel community -- spies were recruiting all of these lame analysts because they couldn't hire anyone who had ever smoked pot or tried drugs or maybe got arrested at all (even political arrests) and so they ended up hiring only Mormons. Well, there are only so many LDS applicants -- that's when they NEEDED to get over it -- the same thing will happen in HR departments when the pool runs dry and juicy people from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, Oxford, Cabridge, etc, are free but their search results are a little spoiled. Also, there are companies with services like ours out there -- but we're too expensive unless the students have rich parents!

So many include every little bit of personal information in their profiles. Yet online ID theft is the fastest growing crime here in the UK (up a third this year) and fraudsters are having a field day. And I also believe most employers would rather not hire someone whose embarrassing photos could quickly be found with a simple Google image search.
