(11,441 posts)47. People with access do favors for those without.
Sometimes. I don't always trust people to do the right thing.
A coworker just tapped into someone with access to verify the name and address of a guy she's thinking of dating. A friend's forensic accountant father sleuthed a man one of his daughters was engaged to. An Ohioan hospital worker nosed around a patient's medical record and "syphilis-shamed" her on Facebook. And you know those "public servants" in Ferguson were digging around where they shouldn't have been digging.
I wouldn't share someone else's info online, and wouldn't want mine shared. But I appear to be in the minority on this issue.
