That isn’t the only issue, it’s just the latest. Handing over all your personal data, to a system that would obviously combine, extract, manipulate and sell your information for free seemed like a good idea?
It was obvious then! Downvote me, argue with me, but any person who thought about it for five minutes should have been able to figure this out.

That’s the point: Nobody thought about it more than five minutes. We were kids, teenagers. We had other stuff in our minds:D As an adult, living in times where stuff like this is reported on a daily basis, well yea now it’s obvious.

Even as a kid I got this. How you didn’t is beyond me. First rule: never real information on the internet.

It was 2006 when face book launched to everyone. People had been online for years. Everyone knew the consequences of online handles, stalkers, privacy, personal identifiable info.
Corporations and online businesses were not to be trusted, that also was obvious.
But people, by and large, are morons so here we are.
