From what I've read in the article, there seems to be a lapse of judgement in both professionals and other types of users on the internet. People do not realize what a "picture of a person with its head lobotomized" means. In today's world, the internet not only exists to help keep medical files via an EMR, the internet also records stupidity. Since this picture was on Facebook, its really easy for anyone to spot the ignorant post especially potential employers.
I think this also ties in to my previous post about the ignorance of younger users of the internet, I will repeat this in case any of those people are reading this, once you post something on the internet cloud, it is assumed that it is hard to get it out of the cloud. That means even when users put something on the internet and delete the post, in some server in the world it is possible that the post still exists.
Not only that, taking unwanted pictures of other people without their consent could be grounds for a lawsuit on a legal front, getting terminated for violating company policy and may sanction the perpetrator of the crime from working in the field they are in. It doesn't take rocket science to use the internet but it does take common sense to utilize the internet wisely.
