I heard a preacher that asked why people would put something on Facebook that they wouldn’t want to see put on a billboard on a main drag.
It kind of lends perspective to what a public presence means. No, privacy is not always the way to go. But leaving it behind should be a matter of choice.
Agreed, it should be a matter of choice. In general, I think it is. Anyone can read Google/Apple/MS privacy policies. Most don't bother.
