Your real name, apart from almost certainly not being unique, isn't private information anyway, so no privacy is being lost. > The fact that you're OK with 700

Your real name, apart from almost certainly not being unique, isn't private information anyway, so no privacy is being lost.
> The fact that you're OK with 700 automated bots crawling a blank profile shows me that you don't respect your own information and data and are okay with literally dozens of organizations collecting personal information about you without your permission or knowledge.
"blank profile" ... "personal information" -- this isn't even coherent.
> without your permission
They implicitly have my permission to crawl anything I allow to be public. That's what making something public means!

I broke it down very simply: a public facing, crawlable webpage with a real-name is different than a NON-EXISTENT LINK. Do you understand the difference between a "This Page Does Not Exist" error, and a "Hey, this is the public profile for Real Name" page? Do you understand the difference between say "Google.com" and "lkskldjfklsdjsdf.com"? One being a public page, the other being a non-existent webpage that returns an error? I am shocked that your view of privacy is so broken that you cannot see the difference between publically posting a page on the public internet, accessible to literally every human on earth, and a whitelisted access page that has a total of about 300 human beings who can see it. Do you understand why accessible to 5,000,000,000 is different than 300? Then you can begin to understand privacy.
