    People used to make fun of me cause I made up a fake persona for Facebook, never allowed tagging, never allowed my picture on it.

    Nobody, makes fun of me for this anymore.

    Most of them are off Facebook as of last year, but their profiles, personal data are all still there.

    As someone who has been in IT since 1994, I have a nearly zero presence on the internet, and I’ve had to work hard to keep it that way.

      Same bro. Been there since the first modem. Only my company is still there, not a byte from me personally. And people always called me paranoid. Yeah sure…who’s laughing now 😁

      Although it gets harder and harder these days.
