Last but not least: The British are crazy

More and more young people are meeting up online and then having unprotected fun with their Facebook acquaintances. The assumption is said to be based on a health expert from Teesside - Peter Kelly, Director of Public Health in the North East of England, believes he can establish a link between the increased number of sexually transmitted diseases and the popularity of Facebook. And, as you would expect, his claims have been further hyped by the British tabloid media with headlines such as "Facebook causes syphilis outbreak". At least Facebook users don't have to worry too much about who they are dating. Apparently, users on social networks show their true personality and not distorted ideal images - at least that's the conclusion reached by psychologists from the universities of Mainz and Münster in a study, according to Pressetext...whether personal medical history, including syphilis and the like, is also part of the true personality remains an open question.
