I think it is at least unwise.

I agree concerning the posting of information about one's self. As I said above, this is one reason why I would never, ever keep a public blog. I simply can't imagine why anybody would want to share the intimate details of their lives in a place that all can read. Of course, I also don't understand the people that get on talk shows and reveal all....

Regarding the stuff that gets put up without consent, my feeling is that it is very wrong. Sure, the safest is to simply not engage in such activities in the first place, but it is also about trust. For example (and so we are clear here, it's as not as though I'd actually do this ), if I were to have some nude photos taken of myself and I sent them to somebody close to me, they would be betraying my trust if they posted them online, and I'd have very right to be utterly furious.
