Today I was contacted by someone at work. She graduated school with me and our 20 year reunion was coming up. Why did she contact me at work? It was the only way they were able to track me down. I was included in promotional material by name. She told me I "was the hardest to track down"and I had to smile.

This is just a small anecdote about privacy practices and their real life impact (and how your employer can undo all of it, I guess)

    I kinda agree with you, being impossible to contact is probably unachievable in today society…Isn’t it more important to avoid sharing more personal information, like your exact location history with Google? (or pls explain me the downvotes)

      Well I’m saying I want to be contactable. I’ve moved many times in my life, and I don’t want to loose contact with old lovers, friends, and colleagues.

      Isn’t it wonderful when an old friend sends you a message and you get to catch up?
