Reflections on Privacy discussions

The “What Did You Find” in class assignment where we were tasked with finding out as much as we could about one of our peers was interesting. My partner had almost no online presence so it was hard to find anything about him. I used a website called truepeoplesearch.com to find a bit of information. I have more of a presence online, but even finding my GitHub through google proved to be a challenge. Other groups had much more success finding information about each other. I think its up to the individual on what information they are willing to share to anyone online, but websites such as truepeoplesearch.com are a bit more concerning, as the information they provide about people, such as age, addresses, and relatives, is fairly extensive.
