- Hamuko 4y agoI was expecting this to be a lot worse before I saw the example, since most of the data is already public. Even if you set your account as private, the name, ID, location, description, avatar etc. is still publicly visible. The worst part is that you can find the email address and phone number, but in order to obtain that information, you already had to have one of those. So you can't just take a random account and find out their phone number if you have no idea what email/number it is already registered to.
