We use to share our information everywhere without worring about that. But when we start to receive calls from advertisers from nowhere and our email boxes bacame full of spam, we realize that our information was sold. Some are even getting our addresses and who knows who will know about that. That really harm our security. That may put us and our families in danger. Nobody wants his adress to be that public. Bad actors may profit from that in a lot of ways.
The funny thing is that state bodies themselves can sell that infromation about us. Maybe some of you noticed when you start to pay taxes you start receive calls from banks to open an account there, when you visit a hospital you start receive calls from medical companies who advertise their services. Some just sent you an invitation home right in your post box.
Not only state bodies ask for your infomation but even other companies when you try to buy some goods or services. I always wandered why they need my name, phone number and sometimes even the address. Now I understand that most of those companies just gather a lot of information from people who are not aware and sell it. We don't know who will buy that information and how it will be used. If it's possible it's better to not give it at all. They are selling a thing that they are not paying for. They are not even making sales for us or bonuses. Why we should give it for free.
From now and go on I will do my best to not share my information anywhere unless I will have no choice. It's just not fair. Some are working hard to earn and others are just stealing in such way. We shouldn't allow that to happen.
