Dude, maybe people do not want to provide that info to anyone.

You're making a lot of assumptions about how the info is used.

Seems rather impolite to be leaking all this data. Where's the benefit?

camus Nov 2, 2012 View on HN

not fixed here, i can access (private?) infos from people i dont even know, scary.

jessaustin Apr 16, 2016 View on HN

Wow that seems like information that someone might occasionally want to keep private.

marsrover Sep 25, 2017 View on HN

I'm not sure I'd want information like this public. Doesn't seem safe.

jakeogh Nov 17, 2019 View on HN

So you dont want all people to have this information?

cameronbrown May 30, 2019 View on HN

So you'd rather this data be hidden from you?

tinco Feb 20, 2022 View on HN

Why? There's no private information being shared right?

I am not fond exposing this kind of info. Don't we all have enough prying eyes
