That's a silly question that calls into question your understanding of computer systems. When we say we have nothing to hide, we're not talking about passwords.

That's a silly question that calls into question your understanding of computer systems. When we say we have nothing to hide, we're not talking about passwords. Someone knowing your password can impersonate you. That's a very different risk from them knowing information about you.
If all you want to do is read the information I make public, send a friend request like a normal person.
- fit2rule 12y agoDid you miss the memo where the repressive security agencies of the world have given themselves the right to impersonate you online?
- LLWM 12y agoYeah, probably. I thought that was all security agencies. Isn't the whole idea of spies that they assume false identities to try to gather information they wouldn't legitimately have access to?
- Thasc 12y agoSo you have nothing to hide except for things that could put you at risk if publicly disclosed. I think that disclosing any information could put a person at risk in some way or another. So I'll hide everything until I decide it's necessary not to.
- anthony_d 12y agoOh, please. He had a valid point and you made a personal attack. A precise definition of what should be public and what is private would be a valuable contribution to the conversation, insults are not.
- LLWM 12y agoThat's a completely inaccurate description of my reply. But I suppose you'll consider that remark a personal attack too?
