Natalie Blanchard lost her medical benefits after the related insurance company saw her Facebook profile. Blanchard was on paid sick leave from her job after being diagnosed with depression. She posted a photo of herself vacationing on a beach. The insurance company cut her sick pay claiming she is no longer depressed.
It’s more than just your bosses that may check up on your facebook. Your audience is much more than you may realize. There are ways for certain networks and organizations to see more into your profile than your security settings might allow. The flow of information is becoming wider and quicker. The flow is creating less distance between users and their audience.
The issue here is identifying the line of privacy. The insurance company invaded her privacy and drew conclusions. I wouldn’t doubt if Canadian Natalie Blanchard decides to counter sue and actually has a good case. (JS)
