Privacy, what's that?

What are our rights online?

People tend to get worked up over online privacy.  I get it...it's a BIG deal.  However, are we getting upset at the wrong thing?  People want to blame the internet for their problems.  "Oh the internet caused me to not get the job" or "If it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't have been caught" etc.  But the thing  is, the internet isn't making stuff up...it is simple publishing what a person is actually doing.  So...whose fault is it really?  If you don't want to be seen in a negative light then don't do those things. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I agree that the internet makes it harder to be a teen these days.  Or even an adult...they have been destroyed by it just as much. But it isn't the internet's fault.  People need to realize that the world is an unforgiving place and their actions have consequences.  

With that being said I believe that we as fellow humans need to recognize how unforgiving the world is and be a little forgiving ourselves.  Don't just blame the internet, let's take personal responsibility and have real forgiveness from our peers, employers, and roles of authority.  If we treat each other like humans and not robots the world will be nicer.
