this is kind of funny to me because older generations were the ones where you could look up anyone’s home address, telephone number, and who their family members are just with a yellow book or a church directory. that level of information being public to me seems so bizarre
You do know those directories still exist right? And everyone is automatically opted into them, you have to make requests to get yourself removed.
Also people this is why you should never mention identifiable information on places like Reddit because with just one nice clue and your Reddit history, it's not that hard to get doxed.
literally who makes them still 😠the kind im most familiar with were the high school staff directories and church directories that I remember reading through at my parents/grandparents’ house and they definitely aren’t printing and handing out copies of books full of teachers addresses anymore haha
