Looking at the profile it looks like all they could get is (screen name, password, email address) if you were wise and did not put other stuff in there.

Using your screen name and email address hackers can then go off and search large collections of data on the dark web and probably figure out some more information about you. Depends on what you have leaked in other places and whether those other places have been breached. You wold probably end up getting phishing emails. The more they could figure out the more devious the emails may be.

The password is probably stored hashed(a sort of encryption). Even if it's hashed it can be decoded using well know techniques especially since most people create non- random passwords. If you use the same password on other sites you may be putting those other sties logons at risk. Using the same password in multiple sites is not a good idea.

Governments are a whole different story.

All you really need is the email address and you get a location of the computer or cell phone.

All these posts are stored in a government facility. They already know who you are and probably have copied China's for Facebook's procedure of a reliability rating.

In the end it doesn't matter. They will just make up [bleep] about you and do what they want.

I wouldn't worry too much about government or communist revolutionaries learning my real name and address. However, I don't want some of these freaks that are Campfire members to know where I live! laugh

I've always used my name, and posted my location.
If you want me - you got me. For better or worse, as the marriage vows state.
I've never hidden from one damned thing - and ain't gonna start now.


I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

No problem for me. More to lose by coming after me than there is to gain. Idiots could learn that like they learn everything else. The hard way.

I fully understand you, and when I am at home on my land I expect to be left alone, my gates have my full name and a phone number on it, thats as warm and fuzzy as I get , I don't own a welcome mat and I don't buy any beer besides what I drink, I do not live to entertain or baby sit those that I don't have a long history with.

I'm a live and leave me the f~ck alone sorta guy,that and I love walks in the sand ,dogs and those special sunsets !

How many gt agents already have detailed dossiers on every member?

Just look at the numbers. There's often a thousand give or take viewing and how many members logged in?......Maybe a couple dozen sometimes.....

Ime fearful is a poor way to live.

Any day with a y at the end is a good day to die. So no I don’t fear anything other than ironbender finding out my phone & address


I’ve heard he can wreak havoc on a man’s beer stash 🤷🏻‍♂️


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

My screen name is my real name...and I don't care what others think of my views and opinions as they are mine, so any who get their knickers in a twist can suck it up and deal with it.

Or not...I really don't care.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
