If your contact info was listed in a public white page directory, would you be okay with someone looking up that publicly available info and posting it to millions of people on twitter?
- jakemauer 4y agoElon’s contact info was not shared publicly with millions of people. The location of his private jet, which is public information, was republished on Twitter.
- theonething 4y agoThe GP's argument is that if any information is publicly available, it's ok to repost it as much as you want. Even your comment emphasizes the concept of "public information"
- kccoder 4y agoMost of us have the ability to drive to someone's house. Most of us do not have the ability to intercept a flight or gain access to the secured area of an airport.
- tsimionescu 4y agoIf I am using my real name, and if I am aware that my address is publicly listed, why not? If I worked in an office and made that information public, would I be expected to be upset when someone publishes the address of that office on Twitter? Now, if I'm pseudonymous, that's a different matter: someone would be revealing my real name's association with that pseudonym, which may be a problem.
- theonething 4y agoHuh, I wouldn't be okay with it. I'd find it quite disconcerting. I'm talking about posting my home address. Work address I wouldn't care about. To each his own.
