Never post your resume or sign up for LinkedIn in the course of a job search? Never use a dating site? Never buy a domain? Never pay property taxes? Never go to court? I see your point, but never revealing your info online isn’t realistic or even a choice for most people.
I don’t know about buying domains, court or taxes. Those should be private and they probably are in my country.
But LinkedIn and dating sites are definitely a scam.
I am a huge privacy fanatic, so it is my goal that no one should ever be required to upload pictures of themselves on the internet or reveal their addresses or phone numbers. People have gotten way too complacent in handing over their private information, and that needs to change.
The fact that having privacy is unrealistic is truly bothersome.
For anyone not believing this, go to https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/consumer and do that consumer report. They are (depending on your state) required to tell you everything they have on you, and they include where it came from. It’s eye-opening.
