i congratulate the author on this evaluation of current circumstances as regards our personal privacy and the internet. i am not educated in this subject to that depth. i merely assume/believe that if a very knowledgeable person wanted to get my ss number or my bank account number, they probably can. also, i assume good computer/tool users could track me down, whether police or stalkers. am i wrong? that everything
here is permanently attached to me does not concern me.

I am sorry this article received so many stupid responses. Going forward, the subject the author is attempting to broach is far more relevant to all our lives then the jlu/griefer nonsense. Thanks Jessica, although I think the much of the AH audience is reading with (at least) one eye closed.

@Nelson I happen to be a hard ass too when it comes to spelling, punctuation and grammatical mistakes in a blog. Here though, i say “cut her some slack.” It’s obvious to me that Jessica is not a native English speaker. I suggest you try to make thoughtful comments on the content of her blog.

@ Jessica Holyoke

Probably not. Your point?

@Nelson
If I had properly proofread my editorial, would you still have commented?

I think of myself as operating “as” Jessica Holyoke as opposed to “under” Jessica Holyoke. Immersionists may disfavored lately in order for service providers to avoid any liability for certain acts.

We should never have tunneled the channel. There was a reason, nature put the british on an island.

“Prime Minister David Cameron stated that while social medi can be used for good, the same media can also be used for ill and must be monitored and controlled.” – should be “media”

“Now as I previously wrote previously on the Herald”

“Wang and Shi were not operating under the real names, but as pseudonyms.” – should be “under” (you cannot operate as a pseudonym)

“After the first two stories, I start noticing something.” – should be “noticed” (“start noticing” is not the correct tense, and “started noticing” is not very logical as the process of noticing something is pretty instantaneous)

“Suppose – besides providing better accuracy for advertisers – Facebook, Google and the rest are demanding real names to prevent being in Yahoo!’s position in 2008?” – not a question, use a period

“Burt if Yahoo! had not turned over the identifying information” – should be “But” (even though it’s grammatically incorrect)

Did you even proofread this?

heaven is a place,
a place where nothing,
nothing ever happens…
