This is the exact kind of thing people were worried about years ago when I first started using the internet, and it wasn't even possible yet! Common practices included never giving your real name for anything, and never posting pictures or video of yourself.
‘Common practices included’ sounds past tense. Also now we have data brokers! How fun is that. 🫠
So no daily mirror selfies or extensive vacation albums? No checking in anywhere? No open discussions on subjects that could be used as data points to create a digital profile of me? Why even use social media then?
