“Adding more users to a social network increases the probability that it will put you in an awkward social circumstance” boyd’s law , formulert av Cory Doctorow “How Your Creepy Ex-Co-Workers Will Kill Facebook”, Information Week , 16. november 2007. http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=204203573

Læreren og Friendster [A] 26-year old teacher in San Francisco [..] created her Profile when all of her Burner friends joined the service. After a group of her students joined the service, they approached her to question her about her drug habits and her friendship with a pedophile. Although her Profile had no reference to drugs or even to Burning Man, many of her friends had both. Furthermore, one of her friends had crafted a Profile that contained an image of him in a Catholic schoolgirl uniform with Testimonials referencing his love of small girls . While his friends knew this to be a joke, the teacher’s students did not. The teacher was faced with an impossible predicament. If she removed her Profile or disconnected to her friends, she admitted guilt. Yet, there was no change she could make to her Profile and it was inappropriate to ask her friends to change theirs. Although teachers keep strict physical distance from their students during off-hours, it may prove impossible to maintain a similar distance in online environments. (boyd and Heer 2006)
