I see people everywhere saying what city they live in, and sometimes even more detailed info than the city. This strikes me as unwise. Isn’t it possible for bad actors to use that info to join the dots of details you leave everywhere and use it against you? Am I being unreasonably suspicious? People always have a strange reaction when I don’t want to tell them what city I’m in. Or even what country I’m in, if I can help it. What do you all think?

    Do not reveal any of your information on social media.

    At best it will be used by antidemocracy corporations to lie to you and at worst it will be used by scammers and foreign agents to attempt to rob you with promises of payouts which don’t exist.

    If you use an account with a name and address it should be a fake name and fake address.
