This is true and it's a good point but, as MFPA points out, it's not a new threat in principle. I think the key point still remains that what one shares with the world is very much under one's practical control, if one only remembers it. Social interaction inevitably involves some extent of information sharing, and always has, but that doesn't mean that privacy (and all the nuanced concepts that are contained within that word) has somehow evaporated the first time you communicate with someone, or travel somewhere, etc. -- Mark Rousell PGP public key: http://www.signal100.com/markr/pgp Key ID: C9C5C162 _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
