Is anything private anymore?
I believe to an extent things are private, but it really depends on who you are. I for one do not own a facebook, twitter, tumblr, digg, myspace, or any other social networks (though i don't think i did delete my old myspace). I would say that i have a fair amount of privacy, but if you have social networks you tend to post things that are irrelevant or that nobody cares about. These posts can range from creepy to things you should've kept private. I also believe fame has lots of effect on privacy. Famous people get very little privacy. An example of this is during the filming of the Harry Potter movies, Daniel Radcliffe would always have paparazzi waiting just outside of the film building waiting to take his picture. He got so tired of it that he decided to play a practical joke. Every day after filming Daniel would leave the set but make sure to grab his special jacket. He would exit the building in the same jacket every day so any pictures the paparazzi would take would make it look like they were all taken in one day. This is an extreme case of privacy deprivation, but i think to a lesser extent people are making their lives less private.
