Nowadays, it might not seem so – even if Facebook or Twitter profiles are protected or “locked,” if you’re friends with colleagues who see you tagged in a picture of something unprofessional or unflattering, you’d better make sure certain friends don’t see it or it could mean your job.
People are oversharing, which can get them into trouble, broadcasting exactly where they are on Foursquare and Gowalla, and uploading photos of personal moments, like the birth of their first child, for all to see.
It might be safe to say that, with any of these sites, we don’t have any privacy. Instead of living in private and making certain parts of our lives public, we’re living in public, and choosing what parts of our lives to keep private.
So, “does privacy exist anymore?” What do you think?
