i genuinely cannot believe that people use their real info on these sites. Actually fucking stupid.
According to the article, people generally don't use their real info on this site, but the site is making dubious inferences that allow them to pull the info from other sources to auto-populate the 'real' fields in their site.
This cannot possibly be legal in Europe.
