Yea well that's true, but i guess it becomes an issue when one inflicts his private thoughts to an unknowing public. When 'their space' infringes on the well being of other people's own 'spaces'. There is a line that is drawn, something similar to that of publishing p0rn. It's there, and people can freely do it (after all it is a 'free' internet), but it's not the kind of content everybody wants to read. That point, and also, blogs tend to clutter up searches in google. It gets very annoying at times. People should at least have a no_robots file in their public blogs if all the content is private stuff. Which is what usually is the case when most of the time the reason people make blogs is to remind themselves of stuff.
