It’s unfortunate that this is what privacy advocates are up against:
"Maybe I should have been more apprehensive, but everyone has your information at this point anyway," she said. "To give out my name and email and what I study does not seem so risky to me."
Unfortunately this kinda of apathy doesn’t leave much room for those who don’t want to give up their information. There is no alternate model for companies like Facebook or LinkedIn that allows for possibly paying users to maintain some level of privacy.

I think the answer here is to remember that individual privacy as a social norm is healthy for your community, regardless of whether you personally expect to need it.
- softawre 8y agoThe whole point of FB and LinkedIn is to share data about you, if you don't want to share that data then don't use the services. (surely you can pay for a service to replicate whatever part of these platforms you need)
