I only expressed it implicitly above, but I am making a judgement about what is better. I would absolutely prefer it if people did not casually direct the internet ray-beam at people that are not interested in its attention. At the same time, I would like those other people to be able to use the internet without paying intense attention to the consequences of each action they take.

If that makes me some sort of stodgy conservative that has been shaped by the past, so be it.
