Daniel Brandt set forth his views regarding privacy concerns arising from Brian Chase's role as a fifteen-minute newsmaker: |
|
|
|
|
|
'' " . . . Misplaced Pages's criteria for whether someone merits a biography has an extremely low standard. For example, there's a page on Brian Chase. . . . Right now, newspapers should print his name because it's topical. But a few months from now, his name will sort of disappear from the Internet because newspapers don't rate that high on the search engines, and it's only up in Google news for a month. But Misplaced Pages articles rank very, very highly on all search engines and Brian Chase will shoot right up to the top with the Misplaced Pages. '' |

'' "And when this poor guy is trying to send out his resume, and he never gets called back from interviews, how do you know that the people aren't Googling him when they get his resume and saying, 'Well, he did this thing.' The permanence becomes invasion of privacy even more so than getting your name in the newspaper." '' |
