The take away for those trying to retain privacy is that they can leave every detail of their online life blank, but having connections to non-blank friends will give them away. It's not rocket science, but it's another privacy element for novices to understand as they join social media.

"The interesting point to the 'study' is still important." No, it's not important at all. Common sense, by itself, does not provide validity to any statement. Verifiable facts and analysis do that. What we have here is an observation that has no validity on any level other than it's made by some students exercising their constitutional right of free speech. What?

“The interesting point to the ‘study’ is still important.”

No, it’s not important at all. Common sense, by itself, does not provide validity to any statement. Verifiable facts and analysis do that.

What we have here is an observation that has no validity on any level other than it’s made by some students exercising their constitutional right of free speech.

My blast is the way "sounding right" and "science" are different. What Mom didn't tell their child: You're judged by the company you keep. That's not rocket science. That's Mom's common sense.
