Protect: Outline

Do I fully understand the privacy settings on my social networking sites?

Am I ready to take responsibility for everything I post online – now and into the future?

Do I know the difference between public and private space?

Is invasion of privacy ever justified? Is the Internet public or private space?

“If someone has demonstrated a pattern of bad judgment, or done or said something

highly objectionable, they should answer for it. But one or two “gotcha” photos? Should

that really disqualify one from public service? Ultimately it’s up to voters to decide, but I

tend to think not.”- Chris Tindal
