On the other hand, if one is interested about somebody's private life, though general opinion is that it would be snooping, it should be left private.<br />Similarly should be handled economical and political issues. If most of society thinks it should be public, it must be so.Valdishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743334381211637315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-28118883528451906822010-12-23T09:00:46.419+00:002010-12-23T09:00:46.419+00:00@Anon: indeed - it's a matter of defining new ...@Anon: indeed - it's a matter of defining new and *reasonable* boundaries of what needs to be secret in the digital age.Glyn Moodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436885795882611585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-7421185732585676052010-12-23T03:35:12.382+00:002010-12-23T03:35:12.382+00:00That is the change.
