Not everything demands a “policy”
- Categories: General, Technology Geekery
Niall Cook posed a question a few days ago,
Some people seem to think that not linking to others is worthy of chastisement, but what about posting private emails you have received?
I was prompted to ask myself this question recently, and I am still unsure whether it is a) legal or b) ethical to post the contents of a private email someone else has sent you without their permission.
Well, for starters – duh. Put aside terms like “legal” and “ethical” for a minute and settle on these two simple propositions: 1) it’s bad form to publish an email without asking and 2) if you email someone with a blog, assume it stand the chance of being published. Period.
