Interesting. And I'm the opposite. I leave my settings wide open intentionally. Because, well, we're all human beings. And with my background in tech, I know if I put it online I have no expectations that it will be private. Sharon On Nov 3, 2009, at 6:37 PM, Peter Timusk wrote:
My argument is from the fact that I have changed my settings to be very private and the only people who view my facebook content are friends. Now there is one former boss, but no present boss or HR department or recruiting web site should be able to see me at the bar. I guess I am too aware as well to post such pictures. You might check the University of Ottawa's Tech Law program output on facebook because they have actually forced facebook to change privacy information. I attend the local tech law talks when I can.
I do though follow the fact that I present multiple identities to groups of peers from different jobs, and different phases of life. Crossing groups like Ottawa's open source programmers with Nortel's security guards and then with Wobblies.
Privacy to use a legal definition is how much we control information about ourselves. I think Sartre said, we know more about our self then others do.
