With the data they could literally impersonate you, this data gets sold to shady assholes, the data is regularly leaked, most isn't public data but shit like your location, phone number or sometimes even credit card info.
Also, why should i allow anyone to know about me, im a literal ghost online, you can't find me, and thats good.
Uh, I can’t find you, but be aware that law enforcement probably can if they have a reason, unless your opsec really is airtight!
Its almost, but law enforcement isn't my problem. (also they are incompetent in my country)
Haha understood. Beware Team America: World Police anyways!
What they gonna do? Send the CIA after someone online shit posting, they could find me probably, but they have no reason to.
