I missed the whole speel on U/O I guess, but I saw a lot of people freaking out about the FB group and deciding to leave because they are worried about weirdos finding them?
Maybe it's just me, but I figure NOTHING about you is private. People can look you up anywhere, not just the internet. I've found dirt on people who have tried to mess with my family with very little to go by (my brother was in trouble a while back with a group of not so nice people). Its not hard to piece the puzzle together, all I had on one person was a username on one web forum and I found his full name, pictures of him (incriminating ones), his facebook, his online journal, his address, etc.
You can go ahead a freak out about facebook but if you are really concerned about your internet security you might as well delete your bump account and any email accounts etc you may have.
Even then it's surprising what you can find in public records about a person, so just FWIW if a creep was out to find you they would have by now.
Re: The Interwebz Has Evils...
Lol. People in the group are dropping out like flys because they are freaking out about their privacy.
Everything you do on the internet publishes an RSS feed that can be searched and be brought up. Nothing is safe.
