Privacy & Confidentiality

I actually spent a great deal of time writing a paper for this class on this topic. The main issues with privacy these days are confidentiality, reliability and vulnerability. How confident can you be that the information you post will not leak to someone that you didn't intend it to. How reliable is the information that is posted up? looking at a screen is different from actually looking at the person face to face. For all we know the information could have come from a 5 - year old, rather than the 30 - year old they claim to be. Vulnerability because any information that is posted is in a sense public. How willing is a person to share information with someone else?
