and being shocked that they are put public. It's not the fact that things I post are public--that's obvious, and it's obvious it will be scraped by hundreds of servers (including the Library of Congress irt Twitter). My concern is the things I didn't want public, that I explicitly stated I didn't want public that slowly kept going public.
It's just like when you sign up for this site...technically OSDC has your password and email because that's required. However, the password is hashed and hard for OSDC to figure out. Secondly, the email can be marked as public or private. And you should have a reasonable expectation that OSDC will not sell your email addy to the highest bidder.
I'm not suggesting that facebook is handing out passwords...but my point is the same...things I deemed private were still making its way out. I was forced, several times, into continuing to use certain features and risk my info being public after several policy changes...it's more than just the update about the delicious food I just ate or me putting my hometown in there. It's about knowing exactly what info is used where.
But as stated, it is a question about why you still have one. I think the last option will suffice, though it probably should have just said 'i don't have one'
But good point none-the-less! Thanks for the response!
