Online privacy is an illusion
Even a Zuckerberg can’t figure out Facebook’s privacy settings.
Anyone who spends much time in the wilds of online social media will encounter an embarrassing situation eventually. A comment made on a political blog finds its way back to your boss. Your mother stumbles upon a secret meant only for friends. Or a family photo accidentally goes viral after a slip-up with privacy settings.
It is no fun. Your precious memory wanders farther than you ever wanted, and there is no getting it back. The Internet will remember, and so will friends, family and colleagues. Your gut sinks.
