You don't trust Facebook to keep your information private, and your response is to share the content you add with the world?

That confuses me.

I’ll explain: by posting it for everyone to see, I won’t be tempted to share content that I would mind being leaked. It also keeps me from gossipping and speaking ill of others, and it trains me not to do so AFK either.

Sounds like you're not being outspoken to me if you're censoring yourself because you know it'll be public.

On forums as well as on Facebook, I discuss technology preferences, religion, cultural differences, politics, sports, gender roles, dating, and more. I’m plenty outspoken, Posting in public just makes me try a bit harder not to be a dick.
