Information stays on the internet people!

[PoorManQ45]

This is not in reference to anything in particular.

Do people not realize that information that they put on the internet is accessible by anyone that chooses to search for it?

By posting the information on the internet you are SHARING that information with everyone that wants to access it. If you do not wish to share this information you can choose to limit access to it by requiring a password or some other form of authentication. If at first you share information without requiring permissions then choose to enforce permissions your information is still public. If it was accessed while it was public you have chosen, even if by mistake, to allow access to said information.

Since court records are public information and many counties/states have created online databases your information is more readily available. Your tax records, property value, address, and phone number are just a few of these items.

I hope that all Nico residents remember this and are more careful.

Nah, just a general reminder to people.

I'm guilty of posting information about myself that I shouldn't.

You mean this isn't in reference to the Assassins thread I just closed?

HAHAHAHA
How transparent.

Go pose as an Internet badass somewhere else you mouth breather.

That was not my intentions. It is coincidental.

A lot of information that "goes viral" on the internet usually was posted by someone that wasn't being careful about what they were making public and didn't fully realize what they were doing.

GO AWAY!!!!
NO ONE LIKES YOU. YOU ARE AN OBNOXIOUS ***hole.

[Pwnin O'Brien]

I agree, people do need to be more careful what they post on the internet. It's just that when it comes to posting someones personal information on the internet just for the sake of posting it, things can get out of hand. This just seems like the opening scene of a Law & Order: SVU episode.

[PoorManQ45]

I have always found it very interesting that Court Houses chose to upload their entire records on to the internet. I understand that you could go to the court house and look at the records, but this took effort. Now with everything on the internet it is a few clicks away. Very scary stuff!

Try googling your name or other information that you may have posted in the past. Also try searching your local municipality using the information you have posted. It may scare you...

This does not reference anyone in particular.

Why do people not understand that they are complete fail bucket a$$? Do you ever wish that some people just were never born? I do, a lot actually, particularly when cream pie guzzling Floridians find it necessary to go through life with self induced down syndrome.

Yes, public information is out there but that does not mean it is appropriate to search it out and post it where it need not be posted.

Stop being a douche bag. Now you can go back to scratching your balls and smelling your hand or picking your boogers and flicking them.

I hope NICO members remember to not be so f*** gay.

Unfortunately appropriate and legal don't go hand in hand. By uploading information to the internet you are allowing anyone and everyone to use that information as they please, within legal boundaries.

I love you.

It's totally mutual, seriously. I miss your face.

[RustyBucket]

Yes, there is plenty of information about people publically available on the internet.

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not a lawyer and am certianly not familiar with the US legal system. Speaking In light of a certian recently locked thread, posting links to information, even if it is publically avaiable, that is then used for the purposes of harassment could more than likely land yourself in some legal trouble.

[93coupe]

Your quoting skills suck mule c***.

So just because it is legal, you have to be this most obnoxious urinal cake on the internet?

You do bring up a valid point. If the court house makes information available to the public in what ways can you use this information?

"Hey, this guy lives at xyz".

The person only told the address goes and robs the place. Are you liable?

Two scenarios:

1. Tom wants to kill Sam but doesn't have a knife. You give him the knife. You knew that Tom wanted to kill Sam but didn't think he would actually do it. He does kill Sam.
2. Tom wants to kill Sam but doesn't know Sams address. You give Sam the address. You knew that Tom wanted to kill Sam but didn't think he would actually do it. He does kill Sam.

I think you're an accessory in both situations. (I am also not a lawyer)

PMQ, the heart of the issue is not IF you can legally publish family information without permission, but whether you SHOULD. You've been on here long enough to know that on this forum, you just don't do that. You don't need to keep proving that you're an a$$. Move on.

[fiznowler]

Isn't there a forum rule about starting a new thread because one was locked? How about a vacation for the resident doucher. You saying

reminds me of the with all due respect bit off of Talledega Nights. With all due respect you can kiss my a**.

[93coupe]

I don't understand why this even needs to be explained to you. It is called just being a decent person, for f*** sake.

Why yes, yes there is.

LOCKED.
