What are some of the rules about the Internet that were taught to you but are now completely ignored? (discuss.tchncs.de)

For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

The fact that people being assholes with their real names on Facebook tells me, anonymity has nothing to do with it.

Facebook has no anonymity though. So it's different. You are sole responsible for who you allow yourself to add that now may know your real name.

I think people being assholes on FB with their real names makes filtering a hell of a lot easier.
