You're confusing "intimate" with "private." If I reveal initimate details of my life in public, it is no longer private. I may have been unwise to publish it, but if I do so via MySpace or any other online venue, laws created to protect private data won't help. ~ Jon L. -- Jon Lebkowsky Polycot Associates http://polycot.com Blog: http://weblogsky.com Profile: http://profile.to/jonlebkowsky # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
