Privacy in the Digital World

The most apparent common theme in the essays by Danah Boyd and Patricia Lange is the concept of public and private. What most people don’t realize when they log onto the Internet is that they are entering a private space and anyone with and Internet plug-in can access their private information. It is quite easy for anyone to develop a safe comforting felling while communicating with their friends on a social networking site such as myspace or facebook.

Frustrated

After last weeks class discussion over the three essays we read i found myself at last very frustrated. This frustration stems from the annoyance at the common known fact that Americans are always over reacting- suing each other at the very least bit of disturbance. More specifically my example for this matter would be the Facebook and MySpace privacy policy. It really urges me when people complain about having no privacy when they are the ones putting their information out there on the internet. I mean dah! people are going to have your information if you give it to them! No shit!
