To be devil's advocate... exactly what privacy? In my case, I work for a public university, my employment is public record and on any number of dozens of websites before I do a thing. My resume is more or less public, if you have a good job, by all means, come find me. Other than being able to prove that I exist, there's not much personal information out there to be had on me via these sites, and certainly not much that could be used maliciously. On the other hand, I have a bit to gain from being easier to find both security-wise and for some of the other activities I engage in... to name one, philanthropy. I want people to be able to find me to donate money so I can build a school in Africa.
How is that a bad thing again? P.S. And this is coming from me who is not known to be a social-butterfly. In fact, I'm quite sure a cave somewhere is missing its hermit.
