That's a bit different.i SO agree. i also don't think people realize that what they are likely innocently posting to their social media can hurt or insult others in a way that the poster would NEVER do/intend to do with traditional communication interactions. i recently saw this potentially play out- now, in regular talking to people someone would never think to tell a person or multiple people within a shared social or familial relationship all the 'great', 'wonderful'...details about a party, gathering, wedding or other recent event UNLESS they knew for a fact the person/persons had in fact been invited and for whatever reason did not attend. reasoning is you don't want the person(s) to feel bad or slighted if they were not invited, put the host in an uncomfortable position for their inclusion/exclusion choices. HOWEVER-the same people who would NEVER do this think nothing of posting real-time or after the fact photos, selfies, videos on their social media which all their shared social circle/family are part of. it's likely (i hope so) unintended but people's feelings can be hurt/relationships can become strained.
There's an onus on both parties to understand things. You wouldn't tell someone to never talk about a party you were not invited to, you would expect them to not talk about it in your presence. With respects to FB people can limit who they share the post to, you wouldn't obviously tag the person who was not invited but it would be inappropriate to expect a person to never post about the party just because you may see it and be hurt. On the other side if you're posting something you'd want to keep in mind these things.
People have to be mature all around. I'm sure there are times people "rub it in" but I'd expect those types of people to do the same in person.
