What are some of the rules about the Internet that were taught to you but are now completely ignored? (discuss.tchncs.de)

For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

I’m a millennial, I learned this, and now I just don’t pick up the phone.

It’s weird when someone calls me and it’s actually a live one.

Feel free to call me whenever, it only costs you $69 a minute.

Don't call them, it's just them screaming " NOT THE BEES!" Over and over again for a minute, weirdest wank ever.
