Swimming Australia has reportedly ordered its athletes to block public access to their Facebook pages. This came after photos of 19 year old Stephanie Rice were taken from both her and other fellow swimmers Facebook profiles and emailed around fiendishly. Rice, who had an unrestricted profile, posted a variety of photos of herself in "un-swim-like-settings".
After viewing the photos, I personally did not find them that raunchy and think this all seems a bit overblown. I did however find an almost astonishing lack of fashion sense as evidenced below.
~ Lesson #1 – If you are mildly important, set all your social networking profiles to private. If you are a regular person, I doubt mainstream media really cares enough to reprint or discuss your photos so ignore Lesson #1.
~ Lesson #2 – Display some semblance of fashion sense when posting photos online.
