I asked the question, "How much personal information should we allow online?" in a previous post titled, Online Personal Information - How Much Is Too Much?. This question has been weighing heavily on my mind this entire week, so I have decided to expand on some of the ideas that I touched on in that previous post, in this article. I will explore the implications of online privacy, transparency, redundancy, accountability, and risks in this article. You will see that there are benefits to walking a tight line of balance between complete online transparency, and the far more prevalant ultra-privacy that our current American society expects in everyday life.
