In a way it's a quintessentially conservative formula: The extent to which you take personal responsibility for your actions dictates the risks and benefits of your online existence.
A lot of people who overshare their lives online learn the painful lesson that their actions have consequences. Better to share less, or just plain behave, than have the world learn all about your strange peccadilloes. Social media, though still in its early stages, may be the very mechanism that leads us to a more civil society.
