In their continuation of what online marketers know about you, the Wall Street Journal reports on groups scraping pages and services to reveal identities and link pseudonyms to real names. “Social networks are becoming the new public records.” My rule of thumb: if I put anything on the Web, I’m assuming it’s public.
you gotta figure that anything put out there socially is “available”. I put as much out as I can, and it’s all been under a public assumption… somebody will find use in it… maybe a personal history for later in life. I don’t know what I’m going to do with my own record, but it’s all there.
