You are foolish to ever put your real name for any online form of social media. Remember, there are hundreds of companies that are indexing, spidering, crawling, and forever storing everything ever said. Have you ever tried getting a security clearance? That'll give you an idea of what commercial entities are capable of. Sites like jblupilots.com have no way to shield you against companies like Google, Facebook, even credit reporting companies (e.g. Experian) from associating your speech with your name. They do not have the legal or technological capability to do so.


Anything can always be used against you by future employers, current employers, or even the FAA or law enforcement. If you make some harmless hyperbolic remark like "hope an electrical fire never happens to me" can come back and haunt you 10 years later when your job is on the line and BJ pulls out your posting implying sabotage or some other ludicrous explanation.



All these social media platforms will attempt to brainwash you into their systems through clever marketing. Be "part of our community". Talk with "friends". We have a strict "privacy policy". None of that legally means anything. If you want to be part of a community, make real life friends that you talk to face to face or via secure communications, not insecure systems. There is no guarantee that what you say today will not be considered something bad in the future (e.g. terrorist, insubordinate, threatening, sexist, racist, or other thought crime).



Don't believe anything I say. Go research yourself using any search engine of your choice. Even the craziest things have happened historically. Employers asking for Facebook logins, employers scouring your Facebook postings, unions getting sued over postings, online activity used in criminal court cases, ex-wives/ex-girlfriends using your prior postings to get you fired, etc.... Only the most ignorant and naive will disagree with history.
