> Using the internet expecting privacy is like continually saying, "I'm going to have sex with everyone and going to complain about the people that have STD's."

I don't think this comparison is apt. Comparing internet usage to having sex with strangers might be the equivalent of comparing <insert western world leader> to Adolf Hitler in politics. It's not completely wrong, but it certainly makes the discussion considerably more negative, and distort its the details: i.e. casual usage of the internet !== casual sex.

A better analogy for expecting privacy on the internet: I'm going to go to different places outside. Some of them will be completely public, where it's clear anything I say or do can be heard by other people. Other places have walls and give the impression of privacy: although I cannot tell if there are tiny holes in the wall that people can watch me through.

I expect, correctly or incorrectly, different people will know where I am and what I'm doing at a given moment. I also expect that no one person will know all of my day except for me.
