- existencebox 13y agoOne might nitpick that there was initially some distinction between the publicly available internet and a private facebook; although the latter seems to be making strides to narrow this gap.

- kristopolous 13y agoProbably not. I don't think there is an inarguable answer to my rhetorical question. People's intents and wishes do matter. But there also is an idea from antiquity about the public good and the commons. I guess at some point my personal wishes get trumped by this overarching principle. The whole point of the question was that someone would say "You may not read my love letters" and then society said "Too bad, we're doing it anyway. And reprinting it in highschool text books." Is that ok? I don't think there's a clear line and I do think there are probably moral boundaries. I'm by no means Lawrence Lessig and this type of discourse I'm really not experienced at. I do think there are many important questions here that we may need to rethink our thoughts on.
