I'm stunned by the defenders of this policy I'm seeing here. Not singling you out in particular this is for everyone who doesn't seem to get it due to youth, lack of experience, very privileged life, complete inability to empathise, I'm not sure what exactly in each case but it's ugly at times and Hacker News seems to be ground zero for a lot of this stuff. I suspect like many things I see on here there is a huge lack of life experience informing opinions. Luckily on HN you don't have to use your real name so these immature opinions won't come back to bite you as a well adjust adult with life experience.

Who are you to judge me? If you are a domestic violence victim, you need to think about opsec while your tormentor is walking free. Sorry if that offends you, but preserving you and your children's life and health is more important than futzing about on Facebook. For extreme cases, states like New York actually provide state managed postal mailing addresses to prevent inadvertent disclosure by banks or other companies. This is a real issue that I take very seriously. My employment contract features an ethics clause that leaves me personally vulnerable even in some fairly benign circumstances, so my Facebook page consists mostly of "happy birthday", pictures of my kids and community events. Does that suck? Sure, but my career is more valuable to me than Facebook commenting, and unfortunately I can be subject to the whims of thin skinned people.
