Probably not the best person to comment on this but IMO unless access to whatever is said is physically restricted - by a password, or encryption, say - then its only private through performative magic or convention, not fact: it can easily become public through reproduction, however small the original audience. cheers, Mathieu On 07/08/11, Ulf-Dietrich Reips <u.reips@ikerbasque.org> wrote:
so, in the widest sense. very well. imho answers to your questions need to take into account that there are degrees of 'public' and 'private' (and 'published' and even 'internet'). public to one person using one type of service in one bit of the internet will not be public to many others etc. same for the other terms, even internet, ask my connected fridge whose content may be private and unpublished
