In this Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, Jeffrey Rosen wrote a long and thoughtful article on Internet privacy titled “The Web Means the End of Forgetting.” If you have not yet read the article, I encourage you to check it out. It is one of the best-written and most thorough examinations of the issues surrounding privacy online and why the permanent memory of the web can mean permanent problems for individuals with damaged online reputations.
As a supplement to the New York Times Magazine article, the New York Times Bits Blog ran a special Q&A feature for readers. The Q&A featured law professor Paul Ohm of the University of Colorado and Reputation.com CEO Michael Fertik. In Part One of the Q&A, the experts discuss a variety of issues related to Internet privacy, including the best way to delete one’s social networking accounts, how one’s online reputation affects job hunting, and ways to influence top Google search results. In Part Two, they discuss using good judgment on Twitter, whether pseudonyms are really anonymous, and how to manage people with similar names online.
