The Soapbox: Internet Privacy

March 17, 2009 We wanted to know your thoughts on Internet privacy and the workplace:

I told my son he better be careful what he puts on his MySpace because there is really no privacy to anything you write online. So if your writing about your boss just be prepared he may find out. Do you really blame them?
