Is it safe to publish your life in public? Even at a weekly precision? What about privacy & security? Genuinely asking. Could anyone take advantage of it?

- sureglymop 2y agoYes, someone definitely could. But also, you have to assess who your potential adversaries are. If you're very worried you would have to be very careful and could publish almost nothing online. You need to think about that balance for yourself and your case. This is perhaps only a little more useful information than what you could get from someones LinkedIn page. However, there you could possibly also get a network of contacts which would be more valuable. If someone would target you and you specifically for something fraudulent, they would probably start by looking for you on LinkedIn. I would say this website, if not posted here, would probably be less discoverable than the persons LinkedIn profile.
- wink 2y agoI think a lot depends on whether you have very low online profile or if you have a wikipedia page with your date of birth and you've been blogging for 20 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Trapani https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Trapani Compare with Americans' often voiced concern of doxing (I'm not saying it's unfounded) and yet other jurisdictions demand that you put your name and address on your online publications even as a private citizen/solo business.
