I agree that the trade of privacy on Facebook is pretty obvious up front - if you use your real name it will be worth more - but I disagree that my mom should have to figure out how the fucking thing works every time they find a new way to sell her information.Substance McGravitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118764163822188800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-63009177267417579892010-05-17T18:28:20.266-07:002010-05-17T18:28:20.266-07:00But, but, NO!

To just demand that other people protect it because you're too stupid or busy or distracted to do it yourself is a non-starter.<br /><br />If it's not important enough to learn the rules of the road, it's not important enough to keep private. Come on. It's not hard, and it's not complicated. You can NOT abdicate responsibility for your own information and at the same time rail against the very people you decided to entrust with information you would have been better served to keep to yourself.<br /><br />Other people have other motives, and the fact that they don't align with yours is EXACTLY why you need to take responsibility for what you decide to reveal...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-79637344614685188202010-05-17T18:16:16.141-07:002010-05-17T18:16:16.141-07:00Well yeah, but the dim don't deserve to get fu...Well yeah, but the dim don't deserve to get fucked any more than the sharp ones do. It's a trade, and that's fine, but you join with one expectation and then the goalposts move when you're hooked. I believe there's another trade that operates like that.<br /><br /><a href="http://crookedtimber.org/2010/05/14/an-internet-where-everyone-knows-youre-a-dog/" title="" rel="nofollow">Interesting thread</a> includes pointers to startups that seem like they might be nice...FOR NOW. <i>[Evil laughter.]</i>Substance McGravitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118764163822188800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-51052371352883114022010-05-17T17:00:42.379-07:002010-05-17T17:00:42.379-07:00I always thought it was once you hit 'send'...I always thought it was once you hit 'send' or 'post' you shed all expectations of privacy, even with private email (Carrnivore, TIA, Room 641A, etc.) We already have businesses selling their customer lists (to those mf'ing telemarketers.) Seems only the very dim have an expectation of privacy.Willyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710859973261156233noreply@blogger.com
