Twitter

Do you Twitter? I don't really see the point, but posting Tweets has been gaining in popularity. I came across this article about a hacker attack on the popular site. Please read the article. Do you think the 17 year-old will get in trouble? Should he?

I am ashamed to say, I use Twitter. But contrary to most narcissitic people, I do not "tweet", I receive "tweets" from various media sources, professional athletes, etc. I believe any form of hacking should be punished no matter what age the person is. Case closed.

I do not Twitter and I find the website to be a good waste of my time. And yes, I do think that the teen will come upon some punishment for the actions he took. Hacking is against the law and there should be a form of punishment.

I would honestly just give him a high five, and I dont think he will get into trouble for accidently hacking into twitter. They shouldnt make it that easy then, but I dont know how you can accidently hack into something that extreme. I think you would have to put in some effort to hack into it.

I personally do not twitter, i know people that do twitter and i beleive it to be a waste of time. I do not beleive the 17 year kid will get in trouble. He didnt hack the website, he only exposed the security flaws which at that point hackers began to hack the website.

No, I don't use twitter. I think it is a waiste to tell everyone every little thing you are doing and see what people are doing everyday. In my opinion the 17 year old should be punished for hacking. No matter what your age is hacking is wrong.
End of story.

I personally don't Twitter because I think it's kind of creepy to know just what someone is doing throughout the day. I don't know the details of Twitter but I know that's the basic idea, status updating. I think the boy will get in trouble because it created so much frenzy but as for if he should get in trouble or not, i'm undecided. He said he did it unintentionally and the outcome was nothing from what he expected. He also knew though that codes like that are dangerous on the internet.

No, I do not twitter. I agree on not seeing the point in twittering.
Yes, I think Pearce should get in trouble because of the fact that he hacked users to Japanese porn sites, and took out the White House press secretary's feed.. Not only is it illegal it's just flat out stupid of what he did.

I don't Twitter. Sorry but I think it's boring and just a waste of time. I think the 17 year-old would get into trouble, because he hacked someone elses account which is wrong for anyone to do that.

I don't twitter because i find it to be a huge waste of time. What is the point of a social networking site that doesn't allow one on one conversation? The 17 year old kid should not, and probably will not, get in trouble for this. He started it without the intentions of making this a wide spread hacking epidemic.

I don't twitter. I think this article basically shows all the ways the internet can be manipulated. I think he will get in trouble but as far as if he should, i can't decide. He said it was unintentional, but we all know its wrong to hack into sites.

No, I do not have a twitter account. I think that twitter is a waist of time. I think that hacking is wrong, so therefor the kid who hacked into the account should be punished.

This is why I do not use Twitter or any kind of personal page sites.
Very easily someone could take your identity or hack into your personal page.It's very dangerous.I Think it is toatally a waste of time!

I do not have a twitter account. I already have a facebook and a myspace and I barely use my myspace. I feel that if I don't really use my myspace account, why should I create a twitter account? I do think the 17-year old will get in trouble because he did hack into someones account. It seems hard to just "accidentlly" hack into someones account.
