#2"Banks aren’t the problem, he said; the users tempting banks with their Twitter and Facebook postings are the problem.
As are reporters who write about privacy issues with social media without first closing their Facebook accounts."
You know he's right, don't you?

Well I can see how he's right about users tempting banks, but why would reporters who write about this need to close their Facebook accounts?

Well, reporters who write about privacy issues dont have to agree with mister moglens view, so you cant says it like that.
But unfortunatly I think he might be right... but well back to facebook for me, what's an socialmedia addict to do other than go find the next fix ;)

You can use Facebook in a way that doesn't endanger your personal privacy, it can be primarily a consumption platform for the endangered privacy of all of your associates. :)

#6Even if you don't buy his whole argument – and especially that the journalist has a partisan duty to abstain from, rather than research, these systems – it's awesome that Moglen is making this point, and this ecological/privacy-littering analogy.

Because it would be like an American who complains for the violence of Mexico but buys illegal marijuana and cocaine. He is the cause; but all he does is hoping that others will stop the violence some other way rather than he quitting drugs.

The article author attempted to weasel himself out with that defence as well, but the nonsense of that argument was one of Moglen's main points. It's not just about you, it's about everyone in your network.
To quote it exactly: "You injure other people today also using social media. You’ve informed on them. You’ve created more records about them. You’ve added to the problems not of yourself but of other people. If it were as simple as just you’re only hurting yourself I wouldn’t bother pointing it out to you. See, that’s the difference, okay? The reason that this all works is that even when you know you’re hurting other people, you’re too selfish to stop. And there are hundreds of millions of people like you. That’s why it works."

What you want to know is that somewhere there’s a
regulator who might stop the bank. But you don’t want to
hear that the regulator we really need to call upon is
you, yourself.

#10As an exchange, that was awesome and hilarious. The substance, however, is neither.
