What are some good limits for giving personal information on the Internet?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:First off, don’t give out info about friends and family. Just don’t. If they want that info out,they’ll post it themselves. Personally, I give very little in the way of hard facts. I definitely don’t give out info that may be used as a security question. I occasionally give my age, but sometimes leave it vague, like, “over 40”. I give regions where I grew up, but don’t name specific towns, just nearby ones. And I’ve been known to occasionally add a little noise to the signal by inserting misinformation.
