2.Any information revealed online is PUBLIC. Once you placed the information online, it is
a)Freely Accesible to anyone
*All information revealed online is freely accessible to anyone
b)Not within your Control
*You cannot effectively control who looks at your online information.
Eg. Friendster, Blogger etc

3.Practice Selective Disclosure of information.
*There is no need to lie in order to protect yourself. You become a liar if you habitually tell lie.

There are 2 levels of information:
Public- It is okay for ANYONE to know such information about you. Basically they are
unable to contact you.
Private-Never reveal private information to online strangers which allow them to contact
you. E.g. mobile number, home address, blog, friendster

Remember: Information you reveal online is Public not Private!!!
