Well, yeah, the Net is a human social construct, and like any such construct, has dangers for the weak and unprotected. It's not obvious to me that a kid spending time poking around the net is in any more danger than poking around the mall or a vacant lot. Here's another dimension of privacy that I *do* care about a lot. I live a fairly public life (blog & twitter & G+ all with moderately large readership, in the tens of thousands). My wife & I made a decision early that we would not publish our children's names or identified photographs of them. There may be issues of danger, but what really turns our crank is a belief that they should have the right to establish their own public definition, when they're old enough to think about such things. -T > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and > follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
