    I once had a serious fight with a friend about what constitutes public data.

    She looked one of her medical providers up on social media, and found out he was into bdsm or some such, and it upset her.

    I felt it was wrong what she had done. It’s his private life and has nothing to do with his work including his work with her. Whereas she saw it as public data that is totally OK to access for anyone.

    Just because I post something here doesn’t mean it’s socially acceptable to look me up. And if you do at least hide it because it’s creepy af.
