   I disagree with @SuePGardner: "I think that most people, most of the time, have decided to just assume everything we do online is public, and to conduct ourselves accordingly." I wish people did, but instead most people believe the "privacy" settings of Facebook really do protect their NSFW pictures, otherwise we wouldn't have things like The #Fappening http://suegardner.org/2014/1…

      But I agree that stronger and more easily accessible !anonymity software like !Tor is needed. Somebody host another !Cryptoparty!

      I know people who say&think they "just assume everything they do online is public" but still post obviously-private things to Facebook. They don't even see the contradiction.

         @bobjonkman, they don't even see the contradiction between "I just assume whatever I post is public" and "I have my privacy settings tightened all the way down".

      One of the things that I've really liked about the #GNUSocial community was that, because everyone knew everything was public, conversations have been more thoughtful—and I've never had to worry about you guys getting duped into posting naked pictures of me.

         ... on the other hand: #panopticon? #chillingeffects? It's nice to also have private spaces that are actually private, where fleeting moments are actually fleeting and things that just `look bad to outsiders' actually don't look like anything to people who weren't there.

            Whatever anyone calls a "social media" is just as [non-]private as any other "social" place. What we publih is formed by the tool we use - and !gnusocial currently works as a very obviously public tool just as you mentioned.
            
            I generally recommend private communication to be handled with some entirely different front-end. Be it XMPP (better) or SMTP (worse)... Just as long as it's not (intuitively) the same platform.

               Let's use Facebook as an example. People use it to publish public event info, discuss work related issues and "like" whatever campaign they're into right now. But they ALSO send private messages and share private pictures in photo albums. Even _if_ Facebook was a perfect, non-crackable safe - that _behavioural_ effect merges the cautioness of public posts with the more…
