When online, always use an alias, unless you're dealing with someone whom you're reasonably sure you can trust.
Also, has anyone noticed an increasing number of Facebook users going private? |
I think anyone who uses Facebook can say something about anonimity. All these questions on your profile are basically data that can be used against you. That's why I keep everything on my profile blank except for my name.

However, I think with privacy today it is a one-sided deal. You are giving up lots of information about yourself whether you like it or not due to everything being tracked, and if you opt out of the free stuff you get no benefit. With extraordinary efforts you might limit what information you give up, but in the end it makes no difference other than you have cut yourself off from the benefits without any gain. |

Excuse me, but we have all kinds of interactions in real life that are completely anonymous. -I can make cash purchases in any ordinary store. -I can stroll into a a library or book store and read anything anonymously on the premises. -I can have casual conversations with strangers. -I can attend any kind of entertainment event anonymously, as long as it doesn't involve a credit card payment. -I can do a variety of postal actions, including sending mail, anonymously. The examples you're using are all long-term relationships where something crucial is at stake. That doesn't necessarily hold true on the internet. |
