12:54Connecticut College 2

12:55Guest

12:55Lida Larsen

12:56Sarah Morehouse
Show up early; get a bagel. :)
12:56C. Curry
Agree with Lida but is acceptable.
12:56Clark
Working, but out of balance.

Thanks.
13:11Greg Russo
the controversy over your bead curtain...
13:13Greg Russo
From a young person's perspective, we definitly care about privacy. But it's in a different context. We accept online information is out there but as long as it's out of sight it's out of mind. When abuse happens, outrage follows
13:14Greg Russo
though education about the first part of that, that things you put on the net ARE searchable, still needs to get taught to new users at every gae
13:14Greg Russo
*age
13:14Melanie Pringle
Agreed, and that potential employers DO actually scan one's facebook page
13:15Rodney Petersen, EDUCAUSE
In the same ways that IT products have not always been "secure by default", are mobile technology devices being developed without building in "privacy protections by default"? What can be done to educate the developers of future communication devices?
13:15Bedan Kamau|CSU Pomona 2
I think there is a focus on Internet privacy issues and very little being said about Mobile device privacy issues
13:16Shelby Anfenson-Comeau
very good point about mobiles
13:16Ed Garay, UIC
Potential employeers, grad school adminissions personnel, lots of people run e-Discovery on prospective candidates, yet people don't seem to care.
13:16Greg Russo
as the entertainment industry and Rick Santorum have learned, once it's out there it's out there in all but the most obscure cases
13:18_EDUCAUSE_Help
Please continue to send your questions or comments to the chat area and we'll get to them at the next break.
13:18Robert Voelker-Morris
I don't know old school privacy does involve putting stuff out there and hoping it fades away, like saying something in a group but hoping it stays with the group. If it doesn't then we get mad. So there is an element of overlap I think too.
13:19Robert Voelker-Morris
I think the big point is the web amplifies it all
13:19Shelby Anfenson-Comeau
Robert - like when the listserv email groups suddenly became open and searcahble?
13:19Robert Voelker-Morris
Shelby = yes that is a good example
13:20Shelby Anfenson-Comeau
Those were big when I was in college, and a lot of my friends have things they NEVER meant to go that public.
13:20Ed Garay, UIC
What effective advice do you have help everyone (not just young folks) maintain an appropriate digital footprint?
13:21Melanie Pringle
Should we Google ourselves or E-Discovery ourselves at regular intervals? Is this a necessary step to keep tabs on our digital history?
13:22Greg Russo
the advantage of more information about people and their activities/character is only good if people drop the idea everyone else is perfect
13:22Wyatt Ditzler-UWM
I like to us pipl.com
13:22Melanie Pringle
Thanks Wyatt
13:22Greg Russo
right now we're stuck in a world where you can get fired for getting a picture taken while you're drunk if it goes on facebook
13:22Nancy
this is going to go many steps farther; real-time tracking...only the very privileged will ever be able to be "alone"
13:22Wyatt Ditzler-UWM
Then you would need to go to each site and edit/change your information Melanie
13:22Greg Russo
as if your boss has never been drunk or how no one assumes you consumed any alchohol in your personal life before they saw a picture of it
13:22Ed Garay, UIC
Also, how do you suggest one cope with personal information being taken out-of-context in an asynchronous unknown fashion anywhere on the Internet?
13:23Wyatt Ditzler-UWM
oh and pipl.com is free
13:23Ed Garay, UIC
Specifically, what advise do you have for people who are rather active on Facebook?
13:24Melanie Pringle
What about disclosing political viewpoints in internet "public" forums? Is this potentially damaging to your professional reputation, even if you're acting as a private agent?
13:24Wyatt Ditzler-UWM
Ed, FB has some decent privacy controls built-in now. My suggestion would be to look through those and then set them accordingly
13:24Greg Russo
it shouldnt be but it is Melanie
13:24Nancy
i don't post my political or religious views on FB
13:25Ed Garay, UIC
Why do you tyhink Facebook does not have more granular controls on who can see what or when? That is, a way to distinguish between friends and family, colleagues, close friends and distant acquaintances?
13:25Shelby Anfenson-Comeau
I wonder - the first rule I learned, way back when, was "never use your real name". But that's really changed, especially with pictures.
13:25Melanie Pringle
This is so frustrating to me, because FB is such an effective grassroots medium to promote activism
13:25Edward Iglesias
The middle ground approach also allows for SLAP lawsuits
13:25Jennifer 3
@Ed - they do. you can create friends list and set different privacy settings for different groups.
13:25Wyatt Ditzler-UWM
Ed, we have to remember FB makes its money off the freely shared information of its users...to institute granular controls only limits FB's potential for profits.
13:26Ed Garay, UIC
Would it really matter if Facebook and other social networking environments offer better control and access to disparate access to one's personal content? (I don't think so, btw)
13:26Greg Russo
@Melanie: I'd say dont put anything up there or join any political groups you arnt willing to their laugh off or stand up for under scrutiny
13:26Haverford
Who do you want to sue, and for what?
13:27Claudia Holland
Can you give examples of lawsuits that have been fruitful in setting precedent to enforce people to think twice about twhat they post on the Web?
13:28Greg Russo
Claudia, there are some pending cases about youtube comments iirc
13:28Edward Iglesias
What about counter clerks who do blog about customers?
13:28Claudia Holland
But have decisions been made or were suits settled out of court?
13:29Christopher Holmes (Baylor)
Recommendations when websites are created to invade privacy and slander (such as collegeacb.com)?
13:29Greg Russo
i'm not 100% sure but i think one is still going and the other has been appealed
13:30Greg Russo
but it hasnt popped up on my news searches lately so they may have just quietly settled
13:30Melanie Pringle
UK's got it right
13:31Ed Garay, UIC
Years ago, I came to the conclusion that there is little I (we) can do to control anything we author digitally, be it an email message, a tweet, a Facebook status, anything we enter while filling out an application, anything. So I try to remain appropriate digitally or otherwise; totally transparent. That's my approach, but I wonder what others do.
13:32peg odonnell
The kid who does the collegeacb site is at Weseleyan. You can write a letter and complain if your students are slandered and they will put it in his file. he is not using the school's servers. They have tried to educate him
13:32Greg Russo
sounds like a responsible approach Ed
13:33Robert Voelker-Morris
copyright sure = commercial rights
13:33Bedan Kamau|CSU Pomona 2
copyleft
13:34Haverford
Brendan, :)
13:35Robert Voelker-Morris
privacy seen too much as non-commercial and just individual "private" rights, no $ value attached?
13:35Greg Russo
tbh, I think Star Wars kid will be very successful because of his fame
13:35Greg Russo
he may never live it down, but you can turn that kind of notoriety into an advantage
13:36Veronica Pejril
Like Antoine Dodson
13:36Greg Russo
exactly
13:37Shelby Anfenson-Comeau
That's a good point. "They don't have the full story, nor do they care." it's much easier to get a bad name and be stuck with it.
13:37Claudia Holland
No wonder people live off the grid, insofar as possible.
13:37Melanie Pringle
No kidding!
13:37Melanie Pringle
Steadily losing faith in humanity...again...
13:37Jennifer 2
Star Wars kid will be fine in long run-look at the fame of the Jackass movies and stars for stupid stunts! LOL!
13:38Veronica Pejril
He's living in LA now. Or consider the homeless radio announcer guy who's got a job now.
13:39Veronica Pejril
You can ride the wave of a meme, or be drowned by it.
13:39Ed Garay, UIC
Another question: what is your take on universities and colleges that think they have the obligation to issue (and enforce) privacy consideration policies for institution-related social activities?
13:41Kevin Smith
Can Prof. Solove say more about the contours of a law he would advocate to provide a tort claim against someone who reveals information I think should be confidential?
13:42Ed Garay, UIC
At last month's Educause Learning Initiative annual meeting we had a heated debate about institutional policies on social networking. Folks at some schools feel the need to issue and try to enforce social networking-related policies.
13:43_EDUCAUSE_Help
Please type your questions for the presenter in our chat space. We'll have a few minutes after this presentation segment to share questions again.
13:44Jennifer 2
Some colleges use twitter and FB to communicate with students. It's always a good idea to provide guidelines for use of these to the students but it does open up some new legal issues as well as netiquette issues!
13:44Jennifer 2
I
13:45Jennifer 2
I'd be interested in whether anyone has a policy to share on campus social networking yet! Please, let me know if you have one! We have an acceptable computer use policy only at this time.
13:47Guest
What are your thoughts on longitudinal education databases, RttT, and tracking students from pre-K to work, given 23 states are using SS# to ID from school to work
13:48Guest
Jennifer -- have you seen the school and social media paper circulating?
13:50Jennifer 2
No, sorry I haven't. Is there a link to it online at all?
13:50Guest
yeslll hold on... I will find it
13:51Chip Byers, MOREnet
How would a change to 230 impact positive opinion sites such as Angie's List where people recommend contractors (or express their negative impression). These sites can be a help to consumers. Would a change to 230 allow a contractor to force the site to remove negative reviews of his work?
13:51Debbie R.
not sure I buy that argument. even before online sites, kids knew how to ruin someone's reputation by word of mouth
13:51Wyatt Ditzler-UWM
Importance and privacy are not on the standardized exams, last I looked, therefore these concepts are not taught as much as they should be.
13:51Melanie Pringle
Cheers, Wyatt
13:52Melanie Pringle
Endemic institutional problem!
13:52Robert
@ jennifer 2 - here's a good place to start for social media policies:
13:53Bedan Kamau|CSU Pomona 2
There was also the Duke Univesity Scandal "Sex Thesis" where a girl had outlined her sexual excapades that went viral
13:53_EDUCAUSE_Help

Agree that spurious claims need to be punished Dan.
13:57Jennifer 2
sheila-just sent you an email. Thanks!
13:57Melanie Pringle
Thanks everyone, this has been a great forum!
13:59Jennifer 2
FYI: Someone asked me about student comments in our new ePortfolio system which should be course related. However, I have turned on the ability to remove comments from your own portfolio projects and we'll see how that goes!

The trend to have computer professionals evaluate speech, etc. is not a comfortable place for IT folks to be.
