Privacy no longer a social norm: Do you agree with this statement?

I support sonam on this debate

Thank GOD!!

After some time I see moral values are being supported by so many people again.

Feeling nice....Otherwise i was seeing some kind of a revolution to throw away all social norms,ethics and values by so called new India.

People started abusing MORAL and started promoting against MORAL.I thought that's the it will be now on.

But I see some hope still however thin that might be...

I am with Sonam on this. Most of the time people do not know how much public is their private information on such sites. Also, people , who are loud and vocal about private issues, also exists. They were always there in society. Social networking sites needs such people and hence the statement. I know of people who delete their profile, once they get to know that their privacy is at risk. I personally use it to be in contact with the people I know. I will never think twice, if it exposes my privacy.

PRIVACY still holds its grounds, will you allow a unknown person to look at your wedding pictures and then use it for some other purpose, sane or insane????

The answer is a BIG NO!!!

There are a lots of issues to be tackled, making people aware about the pros and cons being the 1st.

I agree. Privacy still matters to all. They should have a choice of what and how they wish to share and where. The facebook founder is seeing the world from a facebook viewpoint, where people are sharing only what they think is Ok for them to share and things they do not want the world to know is never heard about. Also, people are quite aware of their own privacy and nothing which is already public is shared :-)

Yup, even i feel privacy has not lost or losing its frame among an individual. An individual knows what can be shared and only to that extent he delivers his talk among the social sites he uses. And he is much aware what has to be shared and what not. ... Thank you, Manish N

Cheers!!

I totally agree with Sonam.

She is right.

Not really.. it's nothing as drastic as social norms becoming extinct. The only thing that seems to be happening is that the privacy bar has just shifted up a bit. You and I are more willing to share some information. There is still a no-go limit for privacy.

Not really... The thing that seems to be happening is that the bar that people set for privacy went up a bit. Now you and I are willing to share information about ourselves but only upto a limit. There is still a no-go where privacy is concerned. Then, this issue of privacy is also a cultural issue. In some cultures, people and organisations may be more willing to share information while in others they may be quite secretive about it.

NO, because still is private what I don't voluntarly share in social net or other public places, without clear and explicit intention to make it public.

If I write a personal message this is private (a request for disclosure is needed to make it public), the use of my credit card is private (also if the data are "somewhere in the net") etc.
