I’m a bit more pragmatic than some of my co-panelists on what privacy we can actually have in this day and age. I’m trying to keep my focus in this case on activists and their issues with privacy online. You can’t mention activism and social media without James Karl Buck coming up. Good stuff here too.

When it was passed in the mid 1980′s it was intended to protect us from fraud by making it illegal to use someone else’s password for a social media site, a website or even their computer (even at their request). What’s the big deal? Don’t get me wrong.

I don’t care what social network you’re on actually, or who you are, if you wouldn’t say it to a crowd in Times Square with your Mom in the audience, just don’t say it, unless you want a call from Mom. No matter what anyone tells you, there is not privacy on the internet.

Why do people include a brand name in their social posts? Did you share it on your favorite social networks to show off? Above all, respect your fans’ privacy and treat them accordingly. Here are some things that I got from the report. When you got the new Google Pixel or the iPhone X for your birthday. Bottom line?
