I've been around the internet as long as the has been an internet. I never could understand why people are so stupid to post their pics on the net, along with their personal information. There are just ASKING to have their identities stolen. Identity theft is rampant in the USA, mostly by foreigners in turd world places like Niger, Algers, Somolia. These people just make it easy for them.
You'll never find my pic on the net either, nor my real name. Being someone who is well known in my community, it would be suicide to do so, and could ruin my business. Why can't people understand that?
With young’uns it is about ego (what else would make someone post a flicker every minute with “I am at the grocery store” and to send their naked pictures everywhere).
For oldsters, I think they don’t understand just what a bad idea it is.
