Do facebook = increased divorces

Funny thing I was listening to the James fortune's radio show on mypraise 102.5 Atlanta's inspirational station. (best station if you like gospel music by the way). He has a segment called what will you do if this happens to you. Well the topic yesterday was based on an article that stated that 1/3 of divorces have been linked to facebook. I thought that was very interested so I went to search to see if I could find the article. honestly I am not sure if he quoted the site or I just forgot so I am not sure if this is the same one or not. However, I did find one that stated that said that  "33 per cent of the 5,000 behaviour-based divorce petitions filed with the firm in the past year mentioned the site." Here is the full link here of the story here.

So this link only talks about only facebook. So it makes me curious on how many other social media sites have been linked in divorce papers. Do you think that there was problems already in paradise or is it true that these different mass media outlets are making it easier to cheat?

My personal opinion is that it may be true that social media may allow you to link to old class mates or even other people. However, I don't think it makes a person to cheat. I think it's up to the individual to be able to connect with people from their past without cheating on your spouse or even your significant  other. I think if you think it's too hard then maybe you should not get on social networks or not add your ex's or people you think you are attracted to. It's kind of crazy but I love judge Judy and she has been a judge for many years and she has claimed it's crazy on how many people now uses social networks as their evidence. I think that will grow because so many people are so careless on what they put online. I think they forget that once it's online it pretty much out there for ever. Especially with features like snapshot, even you have strict privacy setting people can take a picture of the context on their screen without you ever knowing. so there is no point of deleting anything.

what is your opinion on the increase of social networks being cited in the divorce papers ? do you think it will continue to increase? and also do you think we can blame the networks or was the relationship already in trouble? feel free to answer any of the questions or all if you want to.
