Posted in privacy on Oct 23rd, 2008
. . . Facebook’s privacy settings are the most flexible and the most confusing privacy settings in the industry. Over and over again, I interview teens (and adults) who think that they’ve set their privacy settings to do one thing and are shocked (and sometimes horrified) to learn that their privacy settings do something else. [...]
I used to use the AddThis bookmarking widget, because it let users add content to many different services and didn’t look too cluttered.
My friend JC forwarded me an email from the WWWAC list. Addthis was bought by ClearSpring last month. Starting yesterday today, they are now slipping a ClearSpring Flash Tracker Object into all [...]

…In all this time, only three people have tied the real person to the blog without my help. One was told the URL by an irate friend; I am now at peace about this. The other two people, my parents, were told by God. I am most decidedly not at peace about [...]
Last month a US court ruled that border agents can search your laptop, or any other electronic device, when you’re entering the country. They can take your computer and download its entire contents, or keep it for several days. Customs and Border Patrol has not published any rules regarding this practice, and I and others [...]

So, I did this interview with Diane Sawyer. It was an anonymous interview in silhouette, with a distorted profile and an altered voice and a few other anonymizing tricks. A few of you already know about this — one of you said I was identifiable by the way I used the word ‘yeah’ and [...]
That’s what a New York Post spokesperson, Howard Rubenstein, told Jeff Bercovici at Portfolio.com. Bercovici called the Post—and me—after the New York City tabloid ran a story in which they named the 67 year-old that almost choked to death in a bondage-scene-gone-wrong at the famous Nutcracker Suite last week. Not only did the Post name [...]

Shanghai subway authorities apologized to a Chinese couple videotaped hugging and kissing on a subway platform and dismissed an employee involved in uploading the video which drew thousands of hits, state media said on Friday.
The company found three staff were responsible for taking and uploading the video. Two had already left the company and the [...]

Trixie writes about accidentally disclosing her real name:
Having said that, there *have* been a couple of times where people used my birth name online to put me in an uncomfortable place trying to show me that they knew something they weren’t supposed to. It was like they wanted me to know I couldn’t get away [...]

This picture, of 18 year old pole vaulter Allison Stokke, has demonstrated how easy it is to puncture the pretense of a mainstream media and bloggosphere who don’t treat every human interest story as a beauty pageant.
Stokke is, in the moment of this photo, perfect. An Olympian ideal with the kind of physique [...]

. . At least, this was all the setting when Lara saw that one of her old self-portraits had been retouched to remove her watermark and placed on the online sales cover of 1982’s porn non-epic “Body Magic.” Unfortunately, this wasn’t Lara Jade’s first experience with her images being used by someone else. It’s also [...]
Sam Sugar writes:
In the world of porn the implications reach far. Personal ads, adult site memberships and social networking profiles can all contain potentially damning information, and may all enter the public record. For the cost of a second-world data-miner anyone can connect the public and private dots which link our physical and electronic identities [...]

Lux Nightmare writes:
People think I’m not a private person. There’s good reason for that: at different points in time, I’ve written about my sex life, posted naked pictures of myself, written about my history with depression, written about therapy, written about self-injury, written in detail about my relationships. There’s very little that goes on in [...]

Steve Bass at PC World has a good blog entry about the ridiculous conviction of Julie Amero, a substitute teacher who was arrested when a OC computer riddled with pop-up adware began displaying pornographic photos in front of junior high school students.
I’ve been privy to private conversations with a dozen security experts (you’d immediately [...]

A trusty Blade reader e-mailed an interesting tidbit to me today. It seems there’s been a debate raging over at Wikipedia about the biographical entry for openly closeted CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.
The Blade and numerous other publications have written for years about Cooper’s sexual orientation. Cooper refuses to discuss his private life, even though he’s [...]
Chelsea Girl has a great post about privacy: the magic bullet newsletter: or, how to remain an X file.
I know, I know. You haven’t changed your passwords recently.
Did you ever email or IM your password to a friend, to make a onetime change when you were out of town? Time to change it.

My decadent friends,
Despite my best efforts, after 6 months of repeated hacking, I lost my site today. I don’t have the heart to even contemplate any form of restoration at this point. Weary with the cold faceless cyberworld, I am heading for the warmth of the sun. God bless last minute travel deals.
I will continue [...]

Having the Sex Carnival has allowed us to post about a wide range of subjects and concerns, depending on our whims: sex and sexuality, news, local events of interest, blogs and blogging, security and privacy.
And you know privacy and protecting a blogger’s identity is a big concern of mine.
Which is why I am [...]
