            I actually presented to a school around 2004 about how their policy of keeping kids off of the Internet was putting them at risk.

            I took one of their seniors, and showed how, because he wasn't monitoring or controlling anything about himself online, that other people were and how, nearly fifteen years ago, I could find a reason to know who he was, where he went to school, what his activities were, who is parents were, his home address, phone, satellite pictures of his house, and a map to his house along with restaurant recommendations nearby... in under thirty seconds.

            Being totally offline meant that he wasn't actively thinking about security, his parents weren't thinking about security, they were leaving it up to others and had exposed themselves through a combination of removing anonymity and removing essentially all awareness.

              But you can do all of those things now... with or without someone being online. Nothing is unique to an offline user other then exposure.

                "But Sakurada said, "It's a matter that should be dealt with by the government as a whole. I am confident that I am not at fault."

                He's not at fault for not using a computer?! Does he have a cell phone?! Or is he using one of these. . .

                  Not, but it is easier with an offline user, primary because the user has zero control over what is out there about them and, more importantly, zero knowledge or understanding of it.

                    Ah it's not that it can be done... just that the person has no knowledge of it. Got it.

                      That's the biggest piece, he can never know all of the simple ways that everyone is casually tracking him, or discussing him. He can't know about us talking about him right now, for example.

                      But beyond that, we don't think about this, but most of us "manage" our online information to quite a degree. If he was in Europe, for example, he would be effectively waiving his right to identity management.

                        how many people, especially the millenials and younger, are so careless about what they do post online? That's probably even worse than having no online presence. How many people lose out on good opportunities in life, because of what their online selves showcase about their lives, good or bad?

                        It reminds me of the idea of what is worse, bad credit or no credit?

                          No credit is worse than bad credit.

                          IBM research says that the more you post, the more you control.
