Your relevant link is hilariously funny when it suggests that being less private would help people find other similarly minded folks online a la the events in Egypt. I may have LOL'd my pants. Here's my unsubstantiated but hopefully compelling retort: if those revolting in Egypt could have been a priori identified online, there would have been no revolution. Don't be an idiot. Privacy online and privacy in the real world are very different beasts. (PS: you meant "encroaching", not "entrenching")
