Baloney. Anyone can find info on anyone else with just a name. If anyone has not checked spokeo, then do so. There is all kinds of info on there unless you request it to be deleted. If people want to know what team I support, which pictures i like, which recipes I like, whose funnies I like, then go for it. I do not publish private info anywhere. I have my birthday on FB but not the year. If people want info on someone, they can find it. Believe me, I have done it. Years ago, there was something posted here about a public figure who used another name. Found her real name in about 15 minutes. Guess that is why I am good at genealogy.
Got to agree with you. I am good with genealogy too.. Found a 5th cousin that I was already friends with who lives 2 blocks away! I don’t like what FB did. I have a FB page but use it to keep up with what the kids are doing, other than that I don’t share personal info either and stay away from politics. I find most stuff posted on FB is junk anyway.
