I’d be delighted if they replaced the mailing address requirement with email. The fact that I need to either pay for a P.O. Box or have my home address and legal name in a public database is ridiculous and dangerous.

In my country, the following information is available about each citizen, only a google search away: Name, Personal Number, Address, Convictions, Income (Actually all taxation information), Vehicle ownership. In many cases, pet ownership. Not searchable online, but an email away: All your grades (end of highschool through university). Drawings of your house for surveyor purposes (never had a reason to try this) How differently we view privacy.

  Do you think that lack of privacy is a good thing? If so you should update your profile with more information-- it's currently empty.

    No, I think the situation is terrible here, in the pricacy sense. It worked when the community was more homogenuous, and more importantly before the internet. But the tradeoff transparency <-> privacy has shifted with the information age.
