Where's the Line Between Privacy and Publicacy? -- Part VII of Privacy-Publicacy Fault-line Series
Where is the line between preserving privacy and promoting publicacy? Most would agree there is a line in the sand somewhere where most everyone would agree that publicacy models (i.e. businesses that monetize making information that was previously private -- public) should not cross.
