I don't know there is any way to expect the government to protect your privacy much less your personal information. I beleive that the people will have to take repsonsability for their privacy but that's a whole other post.

Net Socializing does put us out there for all to view. It's a chance I'm willing to take. I love Net Socializing.

When it comes to choice, some privacy is forfit. Just like when I registered to vote, my age and mailing address became public record...or when I applied for a marriage license, my vital statistics (including a blood test) became public record...or when I applied for a drivers license, my driving record became public record. I could have chosen to NOT register and keep my information secret, but I didn't. So much to do about a choice. Participate online and some people will see your name and contact information--your choice.

Well I used to say it was "your choice" to give up your privacy and go "on line." Well that's just not the case. I know that if I google my name (funny how I/we use that as a verb) My name comes up with a lot of stuff from my past. Even when I was as young as 19. I'm 33 today. The internet has created a "small town" enviroment for sure and I know that there is a certain amount of privacy given up when going on line either in social networks or even your own blog. Either way even if you aren't connecting to the internet that way it still seems to be connecting with you. The Data Based You is out there whether you like it or not. With as much information that is collected on us on a daily basis from companies your privacy is at risk and the problem is so large that there are Federal Legislatioins and laws passed but doing little to help. I don't know there is any way to expect the government to protect your privacy much less your personal information. I beleive that the people will have to take repsonsability for their privacy but that's a whole other post.
