Who has an expectation of privacy online?

I have been using forums for decades.

But have always known you post nothing identifying about yourself or linking back to you in real life.

You make a valid point about the importance of being cautious while sharing information online. It's true that adopting a mindset of not revealing personal identifying details can add an extra layer of privacy and security.

However, it's essential to recognize that not everyone may fully understand the implications of their online actions. Some individuals might be more tech-savvy and privacy-conscious, while others may be less aware of the risks involved.

As technology continues to evolve, so does our understanding of digital privacy. Striking a balance between responsible sharing and safeguarding personal information is crucial. Empowering users with knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about their online presence can contribute to a more privacy-aware and secure online community.
