2. Students' Digital Footprints MS Facebook scenario - Tom Thirteen-year-old Sandra and her friend Katie got in a fight about a boy that they both like. Sandra went home feeling angry and tagged Katie in a very unflattering photo on Facebook that she knows Katie hates. In the photo Katie’s bra is clearly visible — and so is her house number since it was taken in her front yard. The next day at school, a few boys start teasing Katie about the picture. She untagged herself and IMed Sandra to ask her to take the picture down. But Sandra is refusing to delete it since she’s still mad.
