> Red flag of what, though?

If your employer/government/etc asks you for your facebook/google+/instagram/snapchat/etc account and you say you don't have any, it might come off as being suspicious. As if you are trying to hide something. The same thing with your banks/financial institutes/etc.

Well I guess that's what I meant by information vs actually being harmful. I expect it to have negative effects to loans/employers/etc.
I have none of those accounts, ghost or otherwise. I don't intend to either. Does this doom me forever to be a suspicious person?

Why can't it simply indicate that I have no interest in sharing my personal life with those companies?
