"Your information is now public" ... as in, your full name and the fact that you went to Outside Lands and lost something? I don't see what the big deal here is. Coachella had a very similar practice when it came to trying to reunite owners w/ their IDs and credit cards. They are not posting credit card numbers, they are not posting cities... there is nothing identifying at all that would pose any danger to these people in real life that cannot be found on a public LinkedIn or Facebook profile.
- jnfr 13y agoI also want to add that your blog post exposes more information than OutsideLOAF does, Bryan Kennedy, Co-Founder of San Francisco-based Sincerely.
- plusbryan 13y agoYes, my personal blog does expose quite a lot about me. In a way that's the intention of one's blog. However, I don't think copying my personal information here is appropriate.
- anigbrowl 13y agoWhy not? I't s already copied in numerous commercial databases by now. You did publish it, after all.
- plusbryan 13y agoBut do you know for sure that those people have public profiles? You are making quite an assumption by implying that this data is public. I believe that exposing people's personal information without their knowledge or consent, however trivial or helpful as a means to an end, isn't the right thing to do.
- scraper90210 13y agoWhen I find your wallet, I do not own the contents really and I certainly do not have "broadcast rights". If I find your password to facebook on the web somewhere, does that give me any rights to your account? No. If I leave the front door of my house open by mistake, am I waiving my property rights if someone comes in and takes my property? No.
