Your history is online

Traviers Herndon
It is a large misfortune for everyone that endures an embarrassing or even unwanted moment documented on the internet. As noted by Lessig in Code, nowadays the span of data that can be aggregated about you becomes endless. I say that what a person wants to censor should be allowed based on the scenario. I couldn’t believe that the lady in this pod cast was subject to leaving something comments that she had wrote in the past out in the public without consent. It is very unreasonable that even though she had contacted the editor of the site that he told her that everything on the site is permanent. There should be some type of legal injustice against this guy and any site that holds information against a person’s discretion that doesn’t affect either party in a court of law. Fortunately for the lady, the writing that she created that she wanted removed from the website wouldn’t affect her ability to get a job or anything important. But I think the editor of the site owes it to the lady since her statements weren’t necessary for evidence in a court of law to respect her request for privacy. It never dawns on a person when producing something online to consider the invisible audiences that can search and access information about your past and present until that information affects the person negative. Thanks to websites that link information about people such as google, facebook and myspace, there is lack of privacy. I’m the first to admit; someday facebook may ruin my job opportunity. I need privacy.
