Yeah, I can't possibly imagine anything wrong with that philosophy.
I'm replying to Jörg's response, because she cut to the pith with it. Much of my personal information, and that of my family's, resides in a form that is filed on line at some government office of records. I was required to file that information for a security clearance I once held. That site was hacked by the Chinese. I had plenty "to hide" (like SSNs, addresses, home phone numbers) for my siblings, spouses, parents, friends, etc. Whatever you do in your life, just go ahead and tra-la-la down the road. Some of us have something to lose when our personal private data is obtained by people who are unfriendly to the US (and by extension, to you), and a lot more so than some asswipe credit card thief.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
