Jedi vs. Sith, the Future of Social Networking

It seems that the future of social networking has been divided into two groups the Jedi, the good guys and the Sith, the bad guys. Basically their are two different ideas on how to use use social networking in the future. On the Jedi side it is more about the user and his content, he should be given privacy and be allowed to say what he wants on the internet and he can show it to he wants. But they do agree that the internet is a free place and once you put your information out on a place that is no longer private, like a blog, then you can't control who sees it. Then their the Sith and the dark side and the people that think they can use social networking to spy or control their employees and people that could potentially work for them. 

I bring this up after reading to different articles about the future of social networking and it just seems that their is a division on how it should be used. Their are people who just want to express themselves but want to limit the people who can that expression. Then their is business that wants everything to be open and easy to view and be judge. For now it seems that business or at least the advocates of a easy to view social networking world are winning the fight. But their are people who are fighting for the individuals who just want to share with friends or people they just and not just everyone on the internet. Again though these people do recognizes that the internet is open place and once you put your information on it you are sharing it with the world, they just suggest that if its in a private page or site on the internet then it shouldn't be seen by other people unless the person who written it wants it too.
