I think they are leaving out something quite important in this blog post - nobody is using their real names here.

It’s very different from Meta or Google or whatever big tech company people have accounts on, where they know your real name and many more details, such as phone number and address.

I don’t see the privacy danger in someone sweeping up what we are talking about here, since we are pseudo anonymous. Am I missing something?

Whats the value of random aliases discussing something and why is that a privacy issue?

  • Most of these discussions on privacy I run into are clearly filled with people who don’t understand a damn thing about the internet. Many of which are on Facebook… Using their real name and real photo as a PFP. They don’t actually care about privacy. They just like being scared and angry.
