Nooooooo! Are you telling me that people actually know my real name is not Buckaroo?! Shock and horror.
On a serious note I think most people either do not care. Or. They think it's too far fetch. Call it a conspiracy theory if you will. It's easy to hide the truth behind that label. Few take a conspiracy theorist seriously. I find it extremely invasive and controlling (frankly, it's quite scary) that we are so minutely and totally surveyed.
You're probably right, a mix of don't care and unbelieving that it'll happen to them...but it can and will. It's very invasive and most don't know the full story of just how deeply it goes. Like I said, almost everyone is findable, made easier by the amount of information they share. Bonkers that people put so much out there.
Part of what astounds me about the random information shared is exactly that. Random. Who cares what you had for breakfast, lunch and supper today as opposed to yesterday as opposed to tomorrow (and by "you" I don't mean you) The people who really can add value are more reserved
I know what you mean, it doesn't make sense that people feel they have to share those sort of details. Who cares? A cry out for validation of course, that they don't get in any other way; a sad state of affairs I think.
