I noticed a post on the forums that brought my attention to this, and another group, which I am part of.

By joining the group with your real name (which most of you have for you use your Facebook accounts to connect with friends&family), you are giving yourself away to anyone from the other camp who might be looking for information about you. I googled my name and found information from articles I was quoted in back in high school, my father’s company email, and my home address.

I suggest everyone takes a moment to realize that by joining this group, you lose your anonymity which is one of the few things, if not the only, that protect you from their Fair Game policy.

In fact, noticing how much information I could dig up about myself (which I am very anal-retentive about keeping off the internet), I worry some of you might not notice how vulnerable you are.

You join this cause and your support brings Anonymous to life, but you can’t remain anonymous if you can be so easily found on the internet, and what I find most troubling, is that your friends/family who might be found in connection to you might be subjected to the Fair Game policy.

I’d also like to point out that Google is by far not the sole way of people finding you, there are websites specialized to collecting as much information about you as possible and posting it to the world.

If Scientologists have gone far enough to car-chase and picket, they will most definitely look you up.

My friends and I were on a church retreat and whenever someone asked what time it was, they’d be like, “I HAVE NO IDEA, I DONT HAVE MY PHONE!” Then we started making fun of ourselves by going, “What’s your last name?” “I don’t know, I don’t have my phone.”

I actually don’t rely 100% on my phone. My friend just invited me to this group because one time at a party we were playing Sardines…and we were using them to look for the hiding person!
