EACH of us often can learn the limits of privacy in individual lives from the dramatic fall of public figures caught in scandal, and how often people of all levels of sophistication go about life ignorant of those limits.
We all live both private and public lives. Everyone needs to know the boundaries between public and private, not because of an interest in hiding misconduct but because everyone has conduct they define as being nobody else's business. Much of that is as open to public inspection as were the dirty little secrets of a disgraced governor.

After seeing the headline "More Woods details emerge" (Sports, Dec. 4), I was disgusted. This story is getting out of hand. It has ceased to be news and is now harmful gossip.
Once it was determined that the public interest in damage and physical injury was over, it became imperative that the media and public, in acknowledgement of propriety and decency, retire the story and leave Tiger Woods and his wife to deal with the consequences of Mr. Woods' actions. Yes, they are celebrities and, thus, public figures, but this does not mean their privacy is our titillation. Yet that is what the constant harping on the story has become.

The concept of a legal right to privacy existed long before 1890 when Samuel D. Warren and Louis D. Brandeis published their much-acclaimed Harvard Law Review article advocating tort liability for invasions of privacy by publication. A number of writers and public intellectuals had already dramatized a need for protecting people from the prying of the press. Their essays upheld Victorian social standards and typically assigned blame to commercial pressures on journalists to satisfy public appetites. Attempting to resolve a conflict between civility and civil liberties, they either endorsed as much self-regulation as possible or called for a legal remedy. Nineteenth-century privacy advocates raised issues of audience tastes and media ethics that remain contentious today.

This Article provides the first comprehensive analysis of the law and policy of privacy on social network sites, using Facebook as its principal example. It explains how Facebook users socialize on the site, why they misunderstand the risks involved, and how their privacy suffers as a result. Facebook offers a socially compelling platform that also facilitates peer-to-peer privacy violations: users harming each others' privacy interests. These two facts are inextricably linked; people use Facebook with the goal of sharing information about themselves. Policymakers cannot make Facebook completely safe, but they can help people use it safely.
The Article makes this case by presenting a rich, factually grounded description of the social dynamics of privacy on Facebook. It then uses that d...

"I'm not a specialist on children, but if you try to bamboozle them, if you try to sugar-coat stuff to them, if you don't bring things down to their level, they will tune you out. I want to show the kids what would happen to them if they don't honor authority figures, people who have their hand on them trying to mold them into a positive, functioning adult," Maudessie Jointer, an officer in the Harrison District and creator of the program said.
