Assume that everything you do and say on the internet is monitored.

Google, your ISP, or ebay, or Amazon (or someone) is making a record right now.

Privacy is … the sense of vulnerability that an individual experiences. When people feel exposed or invaded, there’s a privacy issue.

That’s not me.

The benefits of having wrongdoers exposed; the crimes prevented by fear of getting caught may outweigh the problems caused by lack of privacy.

Ask me my opinion again if I am ever brought to task for a some misdeed.
