Why do many Internet communities seem fickle about privacy?
The Internet is like the wild wild West with plenty of gun smoke but no Wyatt Earp. On the lawless frontier, people do things theyd never attempt back in the civilized world such as email pornography to children, open your personal email at work, peek into your financial records, or look over your shoulder while you browse. Bands of outlaw hackers rough-ride over your rights just for sport. Even well-meaning ebusinesses are often outwitted by reckless online vandals who search and find security holes in the new technologies.
