I remember Compuserve. Back in those days you could find lists of people which often included DOB's and SSN's. Identity theft was an under developed concept.I've been online since before the internet was publicly accessible.
I was on Compuserve back when it allowed searching the internet.
I quickly learned to not publicly share personally identifiable info, including my name.
There is always someone who does not like what you say enough to try to make life difficult for you.
I had that happen with the Nextdoor at our family vacation house. Someone said that They just heard a gunshot and it sounded like a .22. I said it could be a .22 or a suppressed centerfire or other rimfire round and that it wouldn't hurt to take out a few coyotes from the area especially since they are nonnative to the region (They love the deer and love the coyotes. Wait... What?) Then someone said that I was wrong and posted a link to a article about how paintings of coyotes had been found in Native American campsites. I posted a link about a study from Stanford about the western explanation of coyotes and a link to a website about how to differentiate wolves and coyotes. Never got a reply.Nextdoor? I joined them a while back. Then i got ganged up on by some of my "so called neighbors" when I mentioned that I liked the new neighborhood Walmart that had just opened up. One of them started trying to figure out who exactly I was (I signed up with a pseudonym). They took it far enough as to report me that I wasn't using my real name. When Nextdoor said that I would have to use my real name or they will terminate my account I told them to go whistle. When I pointed out the other people who were using
pseudonyms they didn't want to hear it.
I was by no means a troll. Everything was actually going pretty well until the anti-Walmart people decided to become militant. Screw nextdoor, they can have it. I had a lot of support from my true neighbors who were on there.
Book face and nextdoor... I wish a mighty EMP upon both of them.
