I don't exist, not even on that pipl website. Not surprising, as I have always used disinformation throughout my time on the interwebs. :D

Nothing special really. It's easy enough to find the addresses and phone numbers of your entire family if you know where to look. Also according to Lamo you can find someone's social security number in about 30 seconds. May also be worth telling you that your mobile can easily be tracked via caller ID. Anyway most people dump so much info on their facebook accounts that you could practically open a bank account under their name.

You consciously make the decision to publish your personal information on the internet. It is not an absolutely secure medium (if it is recorded on something connected to the internet, someone will be able to see it, no matter what you do to try and stop it). Calling this "an invasion of privacy" is like saying "it was the alcohol's fault" when you are charged with a DUI.

As long as "they" aren't peering into my home when the drapes are closed (i.e. putting in cameras), I have no problems with my "privacy" being completely violated in public if it keeps people from harm. I have nothing to hide, so why should I fear "big brother"? Unless it wastes time and/or resources that could be better spent (i.e. the full body scanners in airports).

Well...technically you gave up all your privacy when you started a Facebook profile...since you aren't forced to make online profiles. People are so scared of losing their privacy, but they don't realize that they are the ones who gave it up...

To be fair, sometimes somebody releases your information for you. I.E. that Iphone app, a checkbox we forgot not to check, a license agreement that is just too long to read for a human being, and an angry ex, or sister/brother/friend who tags you online and talks about you :P There are about 20 pictures of me online somewhere, and i never put any picture on any pc/phone.

not there.

I wiped my facebook when jazz started getting out of hand though. Also bearing the name of a character in a TV show means that my fore/surname aren't easily traced.

As long as you're not doing anything wrong, why do you need privacy?

Wrong also extends to weird, obscure, or personal

How the heck they get SSN? I dont know any social site that ask for SSN or where you live. I'm looking at my friends houses and their information is on point throughout, stuff that sites dont ask. Crazy stuff :?

You can remove yourself from Spokeo.com. I already have previously (last week I believe). The trouble is, there are 39 other people in my area with the same name I have and there are 2033 nationwide.:shock: I have a popular name though there are 83,888 John Smiths.

It found me, and my address. Which is hardly an invasion of privacy because I own my home and that's in the public record.

If we can get rid of privacy, then we can figure out who's having non-progressive thoughts and send them to re-education camps.
