Now hold on a second. A lot of people in this thread are saying things like "well if you didn't want it on the internet, you shouldn't have put it there!" A lot of this isn't people that intentionally published things, and have now changed their mind, or want it to be removed from the stormcloud. A lot of this is people who mistakenly posted things to their feed, then deleted it after realizing their mistake. Take this example: http://www.reddit.com/r/somethingimade/comments/j6c7y/i_made_a_website_that_collects_deleted_tweets/ http://www.reddit.com/r/somethingimade/comments/j6c7y/i_made... The author is bragging about catching somebody accidentally posting a private phone number to twitter; this "service" undoubtedly resulted in harassment for the victim of the accident. (In this case, it was one hip hop artist meaning to direct message another, but accidentally making the post public). People try to draw real-world analogs to this stuff. The reality is that there aren't any. If I forget to close my blinds, my neighbor might see me jumping out of the shower. My neighbor. Not the billion+ people on the internet.
