Australian Anthony Weiner

The Anthony Weiner Syndrome


Anthony Weiner

The last thing I heard some time ago about  a politician  involved in a sex scandal in American was former congressman Anthony Weiner. Normally, I don't express outright political opinions. This time I will make an exception. It seems that Australia is not immune from the Anthony Weiner syndrome. Because an Australia MP seems want to do the same thing online. He flash is male genitals by tweeting online. Australian MP Peter Dowling is has the same disease as Anthony Weiner. It is making his dirty laundry appear online to the public.




                     MP Peter Dowling

There is an problem. The problem is that when you flash your private parts across the internet online that when you sign an agreement that all pictures and text are the propety of Twitter or Facebook. There is no way to take it back once it makes itself know online because the damage has been done. It become public domain. At that point you created contact to agreeing the terms and condition of the contract that online company has rights to. It means the company can use your words and images in a way that you may not intended. It can hurt you in ways you never thought of.

When you sign by click on the agree or submit button, you have sign away your rights to get rid of them. People will remember them for a long time. Politician who do this can't deny the fact they did do this online because servers keep logs files of what has been uploaded and words that go with them. Also, their information is in a database that where the data can be pulled up at anytime and has time and date stamp on it.

The lesson is when running for public office or holding public office, remember the public will find out about it and no amount denial save you because log files and data from database with time and date stamps do not lie. Also, people have long memories. When you run for office, you have be held accountable for your actions whether they are good or bad.
