I assumed this was just common sense anyway, even before Elon Musk created Grok.
The average person's sense of online privacy has largely disappeared from when I was a kid and the early internet was taking off. We went from "never share any personal information" to "provide your full name, date of birth, zip code, phone number, and picture of your ID" to make an account on nearly any website in just two decades.
That's the funny thing about common sense, it's not as common as you'd think or like it to be.
Yeahhh, a lot of people still believe in this myth.
It's our curse of knowledge to be aware that nothing will ever be safe posted online.
