Colleges Tracking Your Every Move
Finding out about Target x is kind of creepy in a way. Colleges know who you are, what your interests are, and things you write online before you even know if you want to apply there. This new tool should make students applying to college think twice about what you do online and how you use social media. You write one bad thing about something, and it could basically dictate the path your life will -or will not- take. In my opinion, the famous quote : "Don't judge a book by it's cover," applies here. Maybe a student was hacked and just left their account or maybe they portray a different person online. This system colleges are adopting are not fair. You can't get to know a person through social media and Target x isn't reliable. Colleges now have the ability to basically stalk all of your online activities, and that is a very scary thought.

I agree, I think it's not right that random people can view your page without your permission, even if they are from a college board.
