Eventually you're going to run into a certain person, or social situation, or job opportunity where you won't want them to know that you frequently download interracial anal pr0n, or that you buy & sell Nazi memorabilia on Ebay, or whatever it is that you do. |

It's all about how useful the info is... Anyone who cares enough about that info can get it easily enough from other sources already... I know I'm never going to be trying to get double secret security clearance, so who the fuck cares. It's not like they are going to gather this information and tattoo it to your forehead. |

Companies are starting to assume we don't care about privacy, or at least won't protest.....So they create default settings with no privacy protections, and you have to read 100 pages of fine print to even know they did that. Last edited by Homeslice; 08-03-2010 at 04:13 PM.. |

I, but for a few professional instances, where required (and then only in my "stage name"), am kinda scarce on the Internet.
Curiously, all of my most intellectual friends of the past are too. It's made catching up with them more difficult, over the past few years, but it's pretty consistent. The ones I remember as being the smart ones ARE actually keeping their info off the radar...I'm sure it's not a coincidence.

I meant personal/sensitive to you, not to your employer.

What sort of skeletons do you fuckers have in your closet?
I have a foul mouth, a sick sense of humor, look at porn, and have had my fair share of illegal substances flow through my veins... I couldn't see ANY of that hindering my ability to get a job. I've sat in more than enough meetings with corporate executives who were dropping f-bombs, talking about the hot secretary, and making inappropriate jokes to know that it doesn't fucking matter. If you don't have a criminal record, can pass a drug test *now*, and have the skills/education/experience required for the position, you're hired. I don't plan on working with children... fucking hate 'em. I don't plan on working in the public sector in any capacity that would warrant anyone even contemplating going that far to find out about me. It's one thing for a recruiter to jump on Facebook to find out a bit about a person, it's another for them to go out and buy data on text messaging and internet usage. Again, I got nothing to hide. |

Now, if it's a blue-collar business, or a small internet startup full of 20-somethings, things would be different.........But I'm talking large Fortune 500 type environments. Last edited by Homeslice; 08-03-2010 at 04:59 PM.. |
