I hear this a lot. As a privacy advocate myself, what is the best response to this?
- dhnsmakala 8y ago"You're right"

Now I know everything about you. Also important to emphasise that once you know someone's user/email you can cross reference against leaked database dumps to reveal passwords. They might have changed them since on X website but may not on other sites.

- mortond 8y agoI think this question is interesting, what can we do about it?
- Goodmanw 8y agoJust give them random fake answers as the response.
