and not to mention for small time people, there are nefarious people who want to spy on you so they can do identity theft or similar crime to you. So even if you are one of those "I have nothing to hide" people, you still need to hide your personal information due to cyber crime that could be used to exploit you. For some people, it is almost laughable the amount of information they put out openly on social media.
