Social Media: Sharing Personal Info

Remember when we signed up for websites and there was a privacy policy? Most of us have read one, at least once in our life. It used to say that our information would never be shared with anyone. These kinds of policies left us feeling safe online. It's starting to come to light that these types of privacy policies may be a thing of the past.

It's being said by some that websites like Facebook and Google Plus are sharing our information with various agencies around the world. It might be a good idea to start considering the consequences of our actions, especially when dealing with the online world. This kind of information can be very damning to some.

In the past our greatest threat online was a serial killer, or some homicidal maniac. Now, we might find, one of our greatest threats online are some of the people in our own system of government and law enforcement.

I'm going to blatant. We're all criminals. I don't condone crime, but we all do it. Do you know what the punishment is for even sharing one picture without permission of the content creator is? It can mean several years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines. Simple things we do online, without even realizing it, could justify our criminalization. It could be as simple as sharing a video from YouTube when that person has copyright material. This is enough to put one inline with an illegal broadcast.

There are two things people should consider doing when using the internet. First people should know the law, and stop committing crime online, second we should decide if we should use these services when they can give any conversation we have they want to the government and law enforcement. Both are important to online survival in the future.

One minute we're posting videos online, sharing images, and fighting the injustice in the government, the next we're sitting in prison. This is likely the system we can look forward to in the future.

Remember, crime is bad.
