Seems like at least in the digital world, there is either public or private information, and that's it. We don't really have a good concept of privilege or protected information.
For example, my home address is technically public, but I most certainly wouldn't want it lambasted across the interstate with a picture of my family next to it advertising where I live. It's handed out on a need-to-know basis, and I mostly trust / expect that it's kept mostly confidential, or use-limited.
- greiskul 3y agoOne huge mistake that Google did when they were integrating youtube with Google+, was the idea of sharing people's youtube comments with their G+ friends. Youtube comments have always been public, but there was huge customer pushback, forcing them to revert them for this idea, since there is in people's mind a huge difference between public and publicized comments.

- mellutussa 3y agoYep, that and other things like reviews wm you did went straight to your Google+ page. I really wanted G+ to work, but they were just too stupid to understand that this was a deal-breaker.
