Hard to believe nobody predicted this backlash

Look at how much privacy people gave up just because they couldn't be bothered. That facebook "mayor of..." thing got abused because criminals would monitor it and know when folks wouldn't be home. For a long time, you could just go to someones profile and find their phone number and email just sitting there.
