Eric S. 2,3,5

2     I believe that there should be no restrictions on a blog.  Restrictions would get in the way of every thing.  also that If you post something it is your own fault.
     If you mess up then you fail.  Sorry to say but that's life.  So don't do bad things and there will be no restrictions.  


3     I do post place's hat I'm going or I am at. Also I put other personal things on like if someone has died or if something has happened.  Things I post are there because I wouldn't care who saw it.
       The only steps I take to protect my security is to put it in my safe locked away and not on the web. If you are not sure don't put it on.  If I am not safe that is all my fault I didn't do something right.


5    Yes, I believe with Powell somewhat.  The internet has many users and they all want to know more about one another.  they will do anything to get their hands on what they can if they can.  there are ways around everything on the web, even if you think it is secure.
      Yes it is illegal to do most of this, but that will not stop people.  It is a privilege to use the web, because it isn't necessary.  So if someone wants to find you they will find you if you have even turned on a computer. :)

3 questions

  • I don't really care about blogs. Blogs are really boring and i don't care.  I don't see a way of power from this.
          They people that think they have power are idiots if they think they have power from followers             on the internet. Those people don't care they just like what you post about. Nothing else comes               from this.

  • I have never done that. I do not care for social media like that. I think if i ever did that i would protect my information.
          I dont put important things on my stuff. I don't even put my really name on my email. I also don't put pictures on it.

  • I do not. I think that they are weird if htye think that. Also they don't know how much it helps.
    
          I think that they just don't get it. If they get it they will like it.
5) I do not agree, but people need to use the Internet wisely and not a way to bully someone.

2). I think controls would be a good thing to have but, no one would follow them. People can still find ways to get around controls that are placed on blogs. I think they contribute powers to certain individuals because it gives them the freedom to express how they feel towards something. They are able to post things that would be more biased if it were shared on international media. Individuals can have what they wish on their blogs without having to worry about others judging them.

Having power through a blog could also be a bad thing because people could be offended by the things you post. Although it is your page people are easily offended by things they read. Being careful of the things you post on your blog could save your life.

3). I personally do not put my own info online so people aren't able to gain control of it. When you share personal information it makes it available for everyone no matter what you have set on your privacy setting. People from all around the world are able to view what you post and all your info that goes with it.

I don't have steps to protect my privacy but, I am cautious to what i post online. I make sure not to post things that show where i am or reveal if i will be gone or not. I don't post my phone number, address, or anything else like that on the internet for my safety.

5). I agree with Michael Powell about having the right to be on the internet. People who know what they are doing and use it wisely are acceptable to use it. People who are not smart about what they post or the information they share should not be able to use it.

Using the internet should be a privilege and if people can't respect that then they should not be on the internet. Also, there should be an age limit to those using the internet. There is a lot of inappropriate things on the internet that shouldn't be seen by little eyes.
3) Never make personal information available online. Predators can stalk someone just based on a sweatshirt they wear in a photo. Your security online is not very secure and you can run into problems online and offline. The only effective way to protect yourself online is to not put your personal information out there for strangers to see.
2.) I don't think that there should be inappropriate blogs. But if someone wants to give their opinion on health and they are not a health certified employee then they can because you do not have to listen to what the blog says. And the odds are that the advice is probably true. But only to a point if you are saying untrue things than they should monitor the.

   I do think they are trying to display power and thats fine but if someone wants to display good health opinions and they are not a professional than they can and you shouldn't want to do anything about it. They should not try to control so much about what people post unless it is putting people in jeopardy.

      No I do not think anything should be controlled. If you are free to write a book about it then you should be able to write a blog. We live in America where we have freedom of speech we should have freedom to blog too. I think people are more likely to believe a book then a blog.
       There should be laws about posting crude pictures and rude things about people. We can't have laws about what what we can post about really cause every one has different views and some might be mad about it but others might like it. This law should be reopened and reconsidered.
