Time to start pushing back, through example.

There is one rule that I think everyone should adopt.  Electronic communication
should not be broadcast further than the intended audience.

The mistake was the "open internet", where everything that people did was
automatically public.  We got to thinking that when we use the "Internet", it
must be public.  The Internet is really just a means of conveying data packets
from one machine to another, and there is nothing which says this should be
visible to all.

We've made ourselves not expect privacy, and therefore don't really deserve it.
Back in the 90's, when you messaged on a BBS, is stayed there.  Now when you
do, it gets broadcast everywhere.  This message will be public, even though you
have to get an account to post it, and the server (BBS) has to sign up to
spread it.
