Blog #15

If you want to keep a secret secretive, then the internet is not the place to post it.  As a celebrity, you pretty much sign up to have your whole life advertised all over the media and lies made up about you by paparazzi.  
Because almost everyone in the world uses the internet, "secrets" that are posted can be viewed by millions in almost no time at all.  Gossip is spread from then and other stories are formed from this gossip, until any sort of truth that may have existed originally is completely twisted.  A person's whole reputation could be ruined by the world wide web and media, just because people invent or exaggerate circumstances in other people's lives that they have no business knowing about anyway.  

The internet can be used for both "good" and "evil."  If you want to keep a secret, the internet is not the place to keep it.  Use the internet legally, productively, and appropriately and you will be using it correctly :D
