The "Evils" of the internet

Internet privacy is an issue that most people, especially high school and college kids really tend to ignore. Myspace, Facebook, Youtube, you name it. People who access these sites tend to give away information about themselves to strangers, sometimes without realizing it. These aren't the stereotypical conversations where a child molester is trying to lure an unsuspecting child to with promises of "candy". Its rather personal information that most people would normally want kept to themselves. Sites like Myspace and Photobucket have a history with their "lapses" in security.

To me, Internet security is not a high priority. The only security I want is something that keeps all the spyware, viruses, and hackers out of my computer. I think the whole stranger-danger idea is a little far fetched for us college kids and even high schoolers. Even with the little tots that run around the house aren't really in danger of stranger-danger. Now as far as giving out to much information about yourself, such as bank account information then that is something you need to keep to yourself. In my opinion, and not to encourage cyber-bullying, but if you put something stupid that you will regret on the Internet for everyone to see, then you need to get made fun of and laughed at because it is no ones fault but your own. My point is that if you are dumb enough to do something like give away that then you deserve whatever happens...
