Side Bar: If you are going to share shit, make sure you know who can see it and take full advantage of any privacy tools. If you can't lock it down to your liking, see somewhere you can and share there. Failing that, see Step 1. Never assume, it makes an ASS out of U and ME - Johnny

I've been saying this for years - Jesse Stay

Not that what I say matters - Jesse Stay

Or: Even vaults and safety deposit boxes can be broken into. It's about risk and trust... and know each of them - Johnny

It's not about the Sharing. It's about the Basic Personal Info. - Christopher Galtenberg

If you don't want Basic Personal Info shared online, don't put it there. Again, it's about risk. There is risk in leaving your credit card statements sitting in your letterbox or leaving your wallet on a counter for more that a sec. Risk Assessment. - Johnny

If the internet can't deal with personal private data, it won't work. I thought you felt this way too, JW. - Christopher Galtenberg

Christopher, the phone company can't guarantee 100% security on calls (fixed lines or cellular), the mail can be tampered with, offices can be bugged, your baggage is scanned at the airport and your wallet can be stolen. No system, physical or digital, is 100% secure. China hacked Gmail. Shit, courier pigeons can be shot down. Since EVERYTHING is <100%, each person must undertake a risk... more... - Johnny

By your logic, JW, everything is actually safe (equally trustworthy, relatively) - Christopher Galtenberg from iPhone

Not exactly. I trust my bank more than I do Facebook or Gmail... but I don't assume my bank is just 100% safe. Levels of trust. I have performed risk assessments on each online entity and determined what I would feel comfortable about disclosing. - Johnny

Anything can be hacked. Anything can leak. Trust is a risk and some levels adjust over time, usually down to lower levels. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Back to the original post: that's how I've always treated the Internet. Those MySpace/Facebook kiddies who have to show the whole world the most embarrassing stuff they do always appalled me. I've always been careful what I share online, even if I sometimes use my blogs or Twitter as a soapbox. - Dennis Jernberg

The Internet doesn't have an undo button, unfortunately. - Ⓒⓗⓡⓘⓢ Ⓟⓘⓡⓘⓛⓛⓞ

Indeed! *thinks back to the DYSP video* - Johnny

@Chris: And that, of course, is why we have to be so careful. Forethought... - Dennis Jernberg
