5 of online life

Everything you say or do will be made public. About you can find absolutely everything. And it's not paranoia, but a harsh reality. It's time to learn the laws by which life works on the Internet.

Data leakage from Ashley Madison website, designed to search for a partner for the purpose of adultery, dealt a blow not only celebrities, but also those whose private life was never interested public. Chief editor of The Verge Chris Plante (Chris Plante) considersThat all of us time to realize what is happening on the Internet and learn the rules of conduct in it.

As is the case with the Criminal Code, ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Rule number 1

Always keep in mind the fact: whatever you say or do can be made public.

Rule number 2

Do not obsess over the reliability of passwords and privacy settings. They create the illusion of security and make you forget about the rule number 1.

Rule number 3

Remember that part of the context and data - are one and the same. Your every message in the network respond to a few questions:

• Who did? (It is you.)
• What did you do? (This is the data that you have posted.)
• When did? (Addition time data).
• Where did it? (The site on which your check.)
• How? (Which device thus used.)
• What for? (Objectives of the site.)

Rule number 4

Imagine that all of the transactions committed on your credit card, are recorded in a huge ledger, which one day may become available for public examination.

Rule number 5

Believe that your data will not disappear if you remove them.

Sooner or later, everything is catching on. And soon you will be able to say that they were paranoid before it became mainstream. Rejoice in the fact that now everyone can join the club of celebrities who have for decades lived in constant fear for the safety of his personal life. We are now the stars themselves, we ourselves will create occasions for gossip. It's time to get used to the idea that all actions - in real life and online - has consequences.
