    Social Media Insurance Underwriting

    Saw this coming; only a matter of time. Facebook, Instagram and I'll assume given the breadth and reach of algorithms they'll find you here too. Brave new world, indeed.

    If a person is willing to expose their life publicly in any fashion then isn't it fair that insurance companies and law enforcement should be able to use that in their underwriting and investigating?

    We live in a culture where self control is scarce. If people are foolish and narcissistic enough to plaster their lives all over the internet then they shouldn't be surprised at the consequences. As long as constitutional protection is maintained.

    Couldnt agree more...

    Facebook and Instagram allowed a "coward'' to 'livestream' himself for 17 minutes on THEIR platforms.. yip.. mass murder.. real shxt...

    ....all in my little country...

    Expose yourself as much as you want,,, just keep it to purely that..

    Im bias right now but people who want to use '''''multi media''' on a 'mass' scale best expect attention.

    ''Love thy neighbour" ... he /she see's enough as it is .
