2scents:

Gumball your personal profile is getting bigger, we have now added a cousin to your profile. . .

GumBall:

What profile??

My point exactly! Of course in this case 2scents was joking, but the point remains. A bored person can put together all the random personal info that you post into one big “profile” which they can use to identify you and then manipulate you.

And perhaps it is not such a joke – Gumball claims to be from shevet Yehuda. This is a random, seemingly innocent piece of info. But if I were trying to identify her I can use random info from various posts to figure out her city and town, then use more info to knock it down to 5 possible families from that town, then I can find out which of those 5 families claim to be from Yehuda, then use her place in the family to identify who she is.
