[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 713990"] This is very important.. Someone tried to dox me and quickly found out that I have a near-zero presence on the internets. My wife, by nature of her work interacts with people in less than stellar conditions at times. Her name is exposed to them more often than not. Multiple times in the past she's had people threaten to, or try to stalk her, and they also found out that her exposure on the internets is extremely low. So there are multiple cases in which my strong assertions of privacy and security have paid off, and likely will continue to pay off. Exposing your data exposes you to manipulation, threats, and in some cases, possible harm. It also exposes you to potential future issues.. Getting a job? Your interviewing firm pulled up where you talk about your love of weed. Insurance? The insurance company pulled up information that you like to drink and party hard, and perhaps even drive intoxicated. Health insurance? They see your photos online of your obesity, or maybe they see you smoking when you declared yourself a non-smoker? The possibilities here are unlimited. For politicians and or relatively important people, or people that MAY become important your privacy is absolutely critical and should be your PRIMARY focus. Any information exposure can lead to you being compromised, manipulated or controlled. Worse, it could result in leaks of compromising photos and other things. Also, unscrupulous organizations like the CIA would potentially use them to control you, and help push their own deep state agendas. 'Framing' is even bigger than people can imagine. With an Israeli firm having already developed a method to forge DNA. Your photos and videos out there subjected to manipulation. Your biometrics being leaked out..All of this can go south, really rapidly. The 'nothing to hide' argument is ridiculous. How do you know you have no valuable information? How do you know it isn't important to someone or illegal somewhere? Times change, assuming you will always have nothing to hide is reckless, even if you feel you have nothing to hide now. Also you, to a great extent, weaken the privacy protections and rights of those around you because you yourself are wide open and compromised, thus exposing people you interact with to a greater extent by the weakness of yourself. Privacy is a right that should be aggressively asserted by all citizens or you may find that right decaying over time. [/QUOTE]
