Kinda just highlights that people click Yes to anything doesn't it lol.

If you don't want that personal information to fall in the wrong hands, don't join/share/upload etc. As soon as you do someone else will use and abuse it, including the company running the site you're intentionally uploading to.

I say yes to everyone but I also don't have that much personal info on there. No year on my b-day, no place of work, no phone, etc.
