&gt; Using the internet expecting privacy is like continually saying, &quot;I&#x27;m going to have sex with everyone and going to complain about the people that have STD&#x27;s.&quot;<p>I don&#x27;t think this comparison is apt. Comparing internet usage to having sex with strangers might be the equivalent of comparing &lt;insert western world leader&gt; to Adolf Hitler in politics. It&#x27;s not completely wrong, but it certainly makes the discussion considerably more negative, and distort its the details: i.e. casual usage of the internet !== casual sex.<p>A better analogy for expecting privacy on the internet: I&#x27;m going to go to different places outside. Some of them will be completely public, where it&#x27;s clear anything I say or do can be heard by other people. Other places have walls and give the impression of privacy: although I cannot tell if there are tiny holes in the wall that people can watch me through.<p>I expect, correctly or incorrectly, different people will know where I am and what I&#x27;m doing at a given moment. I also expect that no one person will know all of my day except for me.
