I couldn't resists typing in a couple details I knew from before combined with the new info into Google. I found her Amazon wish list. I found pictures of her eating lunch in a diner. I found her full name. I even found her class schedule. That's when I stopped clicking links. This enforced non-anonymity  may be (marginally) OK for most people, but it's not OK for an Iraqi blogger! I don't know what can be done, but the violations of privacy that the internet makes possible is a REAL problem, and it's only going to get worse.

But that's debatable I think. I totally agree with Qwaider on this one. Privacy is such a big issue online. Hi Rebellious Arab Girl, I think the idea is that you can see what each and every one of your 'friends' is doing on a number of sites all in one go, without having to google them individually. It's creepy. You only get to see what people have set as ‘public’ in their profiles on these sites, so in that sense Spokeo feels it is not breaching anyone’s privacy. But that’s debatable I think.

You can just search for the person on google and you will be able to see that they are a member of all these sites. I don't see the big deal. hmm.
