If you’ve ever been to a bar, you’ve likely had a bouncer check your ID to be sure you’re old enough to drink. But since IDs can be faked, some bouncers in the UK have a new screening method: they’re checking your Facebook account, too.

Legal officials in Australia are so determined to make sure that Flo Rida pays for damages he caused for not showing up at a festival, they hit him with a summons via Facebook. According to the Daily Telegraph, the country’s District Court allowed a promoter to subpoena the Miami rapper by way of social media. Isn’t technology awesome?

Its a story that has become all too familiar these days...kids being bullied by their own peers. We see it and hear about it on a daily basis in the mainstream media, yet for some reason cases of bullying continue to arise.

Ever wonder what Facebook would’ve looked like back in the early days of the internet? Well, wonder no more.
