privacy

The results of several recent sex baiting experiments on Craigslist, where the experimenter puts up fabricated sex postings and analyzes the responses. One of the experimenters published every response, with photos, uncensored. Two questions are asked: 1) Can the experimenter be sued for revealing information that has a reasonable expectation of privacy? 2) How will this affect the cavalier behavior of adults sending nude photos to strangers on the web?

Holy shit. I knew the NSA had some advanced stuff going on, but for some reason I didn't expect it to be all stored at once. Everyone: switch to Qwest if you can. (8) #

A conspiracy theory suggesting that the CIA might be using the social networking site facebook.com to collect large amounts of private information. I don't believe the theory on its face, especially since DARPA connections don't necessarily imply competence, but it is frightening how blind people are to the privacy policies of sites to which they give private information.
