You share things about your life, maybe not all, but probably more than you think. You complain about your life, tell everyone when you have a cold, a customer made you mad, your boss ticked you off, or your husband brought you flowers. You say happy birthday to your friends and commiserate over a job loss or death in the family.But what if your doctor was on line as much as you and complained about patients or a work situation - which included you - as their patient. This issue is now coming to the forefront for many people who use the internet both personally and professionally. The technical advice is to 'create separate personal and professional accounts' for everything. Well I have tried t...

Certainly since it has changed its privacy options over time. In the beginning, Facebook restricted the visibility of a user’s personal information to just their friends and their “network”, but the default privacy settings have become much more permissive, as you can see in [...] (Source: Laika's MedLibLog) Laika's MedLibLog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3581569 Thu, 20 May 2010 00:53:51 +0100 3581569 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2803882&cid=t_198105_87_f&fid=36438&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FCato-at-liberty%2F%7E3%2FS-klHB4Vklo%2F My colleague Jim Harper and I have been having a friendly internal argument about Internet privacy regulation that strikes me as having potential implications for other contexts, so I thought I might as well pick it up here in case it’s of interest to anyone else. Unsurprisingly, neither of us are particularly sanguine about elaborate regulatory schemes—and I’m sympathetic to the general tenor of his recent post on the topic. But unlike Jim, as I recently wrote here, I can think of two rules that might be appropriate: A notice requirement that says third-party trackers must provide a link to an ordinary-language explanation of what information is being collected, and for what purpose, combined with a clear rule making those stated privacy policies enforceable in court. Jim re...

One of the people the author interviewed was Jason Fortuny, a thirty-two year old web programmer, who's passion is trolling. "Today the Internet is much more than esoteric discussion forums. It is a mass medium for defining who we are to ourselves and to others. Teenagers groom their MySpace profiles as intensely as their hair; escapists clock 50-hour weeks in virtual worlds, accumulating gold for their online avatars. Anyone seeking work or love can expect to be Googled. As our emotional investment in the Internet has grown, the stakes for trolling -- for provoking strangers online -- have risen. Trolling has evolved from ironic solo skit to vicious group hunt. "Lulz" is how ...
