I am beyond amazed at how utterly astounded people are when I ask not to be quoted. I'm not saying this person above is doing it, but I get looked at like I'm completely insane or nuts:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/03/03/man-loses-80000-legal-settlement-after-daughter-facebook-post-violates/What I am saying and asking should be the norm, and not viewed as some nutty thing. I guarantee you that girl had no idea that stupid post could cost her family 6 figures (believe me there were legal fees on top of that I bet). This is real and not crazy conspiracy shit. They will pay people to look through as much crap as they can if motivated and I know people who make a living looking for dirt like this....
It really makes me sad that people do not understand basic internet posting content security to the point where I'm looked at as odd for asking not to be quoted.
You have no idea the HUGE number of people who have gotten pissed at me when the prosecution or other side use a facebook post THEY made against them. I've had them sit there and scream in disbelief and outrage that they're going to sue for invasion of privacy. I then tell them that it isn't invasion of privacy becau... and they cut me off forcibly insisting that it is..... I was about to explain why it isn't and they just look at me like I have a fucking alien growing out of my forehead.
What people think/want means absolutely jack shit. The prosecution absolutely does accept it when your "friends" turn in a post you made on facebook. I've seen it waaaay too many times. It is real and people's shock and demanding insistence does not a legal argument make, and I'm not the reason it's like this so them getting pissed at me just lowers my opinion of them further.....
Please be mindful of what you post. It is possible to be annon online but you probably don't know enough to do it right where they'd have any difficulty breaking it. Why make it easy for them. See also "selfies" I.E self serve government / corporate "survey lance...."

You're not even anon like you think you are. The Government can call Moot and did in that situation to figure out exactly who made a post and why to charge them with things.
That wasn't even for naughty pics or anything....
What I am saying about NOT MAKING THINGS PUBLIC should be the norm, but that's not what big brother wants. You see, big brother got lazy and decided to have you do his work for him by making it seem "normal" to spill every single bean so he doesn't have to bother to look: i.e. all your posting.
I will never quote people's text anymore. I will do what I did at the top of this post and quote a link to the text where the person can erase if needed.
We're screwed unless the internet relearns how to post and starts doing it the right way.... We're screwed.
