I want it back.

Privacy.

Its all over the news, in the courts, in parliament, and in our everyday lives, but how do we control it, especially after giving it up.

I'm talking about Facebook.

Good old Facebook.

But really, why is everyone so mad at Facebook? isn't it the user that signed up to show themselves to the world, and have the world look in?

Yes, I disagree with the whole 'your profile isn't really deleted, its just deactivated' feature, but all the other aspects are things that facebook shouldn't be blamed for.

If the whole world can see where you live... don't blame facebook, press backspace until every letter of the word 'Stratford' is gone. If there are pictures of you drinking on facebook, and your employer sees it, its your own fault for not untagging yourself.

But, the big thing is that people willingly gave all their information in the beginning.

They were so excited that they could share their vacations with the world, and let everyone see their wedding photos.

But now, we realize that we want good old fashioned privacy back,

funny how that happens, eh?

Sneaky...

So, another Evony-type deal is magazines.

They have no rating, right?

So, its super easy to sneak in all sorts of innuendos and hidden cleavage...

I was reading a cosmopolitan the other day and it struck me that any kid could read it... or even buy it. Sure, the cashier would probably say something if a ten year old is buying cosmo, but they can't deny the shopper their purchase can they?

Same thing with skater magazines and car magazines.

Fraught with cleavage, tummy and oozing sex appeal, these magazines can't just be viewed, or bought by younger audiences... unlike the cosmo, they are popular and accepted among younger viewers.

I can see a 'magazine rating system' being VERY unpopular with readers, can't you?
