Texts Live On, but That's Often Forgotten in Politics
Newspaper | The New York Times

Topic Tags | email, politics, privacy, texting
Summary | Politicians seem to forget an important rule: do not write a text message that could bring serious consequences if it appeared on the front page of a newspaper. In the George Washington Bridge scandal, it was said that Christina Genovese Renna (one of Chris Christie's aides) had texted a colleague that if his boss's emails were found, they would reveal that he was plotting to block traffic to the bridge. If you are a public servant, you should know that you can't send any confidential text messages. Text messages are often perceived as a "thoughtless" form of communication, which can have serious consequences.
