 o
your opinion about internet privacy

Posted by neur87 (My Page) on

I'd like to take an informal poll to find out people's feelings about internet privacy.

Question #1: If you joined a birding group, would you want your name to be published on the group's website as a "new member"?

Question #2: If the group went ahead and published your name without asking your permission or telling you first, how would you feel about it?

Question #3: If your answer to #1 would have been "no, don't publish my name," but you find yourself in the #2 scenario (your name was published, anyway), would you say something? Or would you just let it slide because it's not that big a deal to you, or it's seems ungracious to make a fuss, or ...(please elaborate your reason)...?

Question #4: If these questions pertained to your child's name (if your child had joined the birding group as well), would your answers be the same or different?

Thanks very much for your input!

RE: your opinion about internet privacy

The internet isn't private. My full real name can be used anywhere, but I've yet to join any group where one is not given a choice as to what name or screen name one wishes to have appear on posts to that group.
