Parents, teachers, bosses, and the general old people population are terrible with technology.

Honor taken away by Facebook privacy settings

Up +52 Down

I come from a very traditional foreign family. Expectedly, we( rather they..) make an exhuasting effort to abide by nonsensical social rules. Anyway, my mother and i are friends on facebook, through no choice of my own, but I figured out a way to block her from seeing anything that would insult her. We operate on the belief that she can see everything on my facebook but she is too technology handicapped to see that she is under the strictest privacy control. On Valentines day, I shared a video called 'the inside view of a kiss - GROSS' without realising that the new facebook layout had quietly altered my previous privacy settings. I wake up the next morning, to find 30 missed calls on my phone, and countless facebook messages from my mother. She said I brought shame to her, and asked me how I could possibly think to look up "unsutable bad pictures". She then went on to claim that now that I study abroad, she reasoned that I had been abducted by and hypnotized by sinners and their 'tools'. The worst part about this is I have a ticket booked back home in a week.
