Except FR doesn’t link to RL and I don’t give out info to be used for identity theft or worse.

I think anyone who puts RL info onto FB is a damn fool (no offense).

“I think anyone who puts RL info onto FB is a damn fool (no offense).”

Indeed. Especially since FB, NSA and many others routinely mine such FB info. for their own nefarious purposes.

What info are they going to give out for identity theft? You don’t give them your SS No., driver’s license, or bank info. or credit card info. You can incur identity theft just by writing a check or buying something online. All they know is my name. You don’t even have to give them your correct birthdate if you don’t want to. I know more people who have incurred ID theft that are not on FB than I know those who are on FB. In fact, I know of no one who has had that problem from being on FB. If you’re afraid of ID theft, then don’t make any online purchases, or do online banking.
