I have a lot of respect for Wael Ghonim for standing up and saying he had no idea what he unleashed via social networks.

I'd like to see Facebook and Twitter do the same. Take responsibility for the costs of an "open and connected" world. A lot of education has to happen. Cause we can't wait for everyone to take 4 years to realize the consequences of what they are doing.
