Privacy ? Which privacy ?

Arggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is actually fully legal and a private matter if you happens to be a rude, middle aged woman who think your coming daughter-in-law does not have manners. It is called "human rights". So why the hell does a middle aged woman, call her a stupid cow if you want, have to hide out of view in her house with many TV broadcasters parked up outside her front door ?

I refer to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13973331

So she sent her soon to be daughter in law a pretty lame email. So what ? Whose here has not sent stupid emails ? I have. Tonnes of them. Downright braindead emails which I sincerely hope has been nuked by now. But that is again my human rights to do so without this email going around the world like a virus. It is actually a human right to be stupid and doing stupid things in privacy or in a one-to-one conversation as an email is. 

So, it now seems like emails is  no longer private. In fact, they never have been. If you write an email, write it such that it can be read out by a news reader in CNN, FOX, SKY, BBC or on Mongolian TV without you having to emigrate to Baffin Island for some years. What is then the points of emails ? 

I cannot send any types of meaningful emails to others now. There is a Forward button on their email browsers now which is now being renamed to the Broadcast button. Or as in most cases; the Get Even button.  

I am prettty pissed off with this because

a.) My privacy has just been eroded.  

b.) It makes this email tool pretty useless  

c.) The ones in the mental asylums with convictions for paranoia is really the sane people now and should be employed as dead expensive IT consultants from now on because paranoia has to become the IT standard from now on.

In my case; I will have to use face to face when communicating issues I do not want to be broadcasted. And we are by then turning the full circle, back to the time before paper and IT was invented. Happy now, people ?

Yes it does. 

Because if you send an email, it is between you and the recipient. Two persons only or the cc or bcc recipient. 

If you go public with a message, you publish that message in a blog, twitter, public forum, letter to an editor or on your own website as an open letter to...

That to be strictly correct and in this day and age; nitpicking. In reality, that Forward button is a Get Even, Sulking Loser or Broadcast button. That is a sad thing because it should not be like that. But when the terrain is not like the map says, I rather re-adjust to the terrain than falling down a 1000 feet drop where there should had been a nice lake instead.
