Privacy setting

I googled myself and got some facebook pages. and then i immediately changed the privacy settings right after so that wouldn't happen. I always knew for a fact that what's on the internet is no longer just mine so i never put anything too personal. I never wanted someone to be able to look me up and get my life story. And if i ever wanted to post on some random topic forum or anything i just used an alias. There's no point in ever putting your real information because the internet is about what you say not who you are.

I expect there to be some sort of privacy in certain aspects of the internet. For example online shopping would not exist without privacy. If anyone so much as suspects that the site they want to put their credit card information on isn't very secure, they will go find another site. Online shopping wouldn't exist without a guarantee that peoples information will be safe.

Facebook used to have privacy settings that claimed they own the rights to everything you make public and can use it whatever way they want, but once you delete your Facebook all rights become invalid. Now the privacy settings take off that last part and this made a lot of people unhappy. But in my opinion Facebook is smart. They don't deserve to be sued for peoples stupidity. If there's something on Facebook someone doesn't want shared, they shouldn't have put it there in the first place. And honestly I highly doubt anyones information is even worth looking at. They probably talk about trivial things like parties and people they like. Anything worth much more than that shouldn't even be on Facebook.
