Oh come now. The most information you'd ever be providing is the same you'd be publicly providing to a social network.

So? Social networks are basically personal tracking/data mining operations. As bad as that is, you at least want them to be reputable because otherwise the risk of identity fraud would also be evident.

No, I'm sorry. That doesn't hold up against basic logic. The reputability of a social network has nothing to do with publicly accessible information that you provide. When you upload your name and a photo a social network, anyone can take that information and photo and make another account pretending to be you. I don't see how that has anything to do with the social network being reputable or not.

In addition, we haven't asked for anything other than what people want to put out there. Your argument is basically unfounded and more or less nonsensical.

Not if you give a damn about your privacy settings.

Then again, I don't have any personal info in any SN since I don't trust them to manage my info properly in the first place, even internally.
