In my work I see it every day: Kids (generally kids) posting their intentions & confessions online as they go about doing criminal & stupid shit. I often have to read reports of police investigations & wade through pages & pages of self-incriminating Facebook messages.

I KNOW there have to be more people out there...or even in here...whose privacy is important to them,
and who do not splash their life all over Facebook and other data gobbling sites.

Somehow, preferring privacy has become viewed as aberrant behavior.

It's just a matter of being smart and limiting what you post. It's also important to have friends who won't go posting the embarrasing photos anyway. I've lucked out in that regard, but I'm also not a wild and crazy guy so to speak.

I also limit who I friend from work. Those I do friend don't give a shit what's posted.

I too, value my privacy and I also believe that the world really isn't all that interested in every mundane detail of my humble existence.

Mainly because those idiots actually believe everything they post on there is private.

know this one guy who's really good at hacking sites. well only on twitter do I know him. curahack so I suppose you can try to get him to have fun with that but take care he's connected to Guy fawkes , could come back and deface this one too. Nothings private online. course the only reason I know him is he nailed one site following false info of possible child porn on that site. Which wasn't true. Fortunately someone who's a lead member there changed his mind. Oh but what a headache it was in December. X_X no not saying what that site is. although frankly it's just free advertising of adult pix/vids. I'm sure if you follow him you can figure that out since he's the only one that doesn't delete his past tweets.

Some of them used to brag about their skillz at using multiple computers to vote more than once.

Is it any wonder they ASSUME the same thing is happening at voting booths?

I was hoping they were simply referring to YouTube comment section which I will admit can be dominated by right wing conspiracy theory NUTS/right wing Christian NUTS/GUN NUTS/Racist...Basically all the same thing.

YouTube is overall a very good website...Probably one of the best websites ever created. Especially, YouTube ED!!!

They just have horrible moderating in their comments section. That's why I rarely post or read comments on there anymore.
