We already see major players like <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jul2007/tc20070722_107100.htm?link_position=link6" rel="nofollow">Microsoft</a> invest heavily on meeting user demands for control of personal information they expose to web sites. Technology has a tendency to provide as it matures the solutions to the problems it creates. A common framework for understanding the problems and communicating the issues like the one described in the paper is valuable contribution to demystifying online privacy issues. Implementations of theoretical frameworks like the six-dimensional approach to online privacy will help clear the mess.

Don't hide your blogs, shout your thoughts from the rooftops, but just remember that if your thoughts impinge on someone else's privacy or defame another person's character, even when that's not deliberate, you could feel not only the kick of the firing gun but you could get a legal slap too. All I'm suggesting in terms of blogging and stuff is that you take care and consider seriously whether what you blog could land you in trouble. That’s fair enough!
