[QUOTE=Jund;50176299]if i wanted to i could find your name, city, workplace, and hobbies right now it's not that big of a deal[/QUOTE] The fact that you can do that IS a big deal, people are letting their info leak. The only reason you'd be able to do that is because other sites have already collected his data and are essentially leaking it Also, you probably couldn't do all of those things, for the record. Not with any amount of certainty.

For example, I leave my Steam account open for comments, viewing, and etc, but I keep my inventory private because spambots annoy the fuck out of me. I keep the information I feel it's necessary to keep private private.

Not really surprised tbh. Some of the Miitomo questions almost make it sound like a phishing scam. "What's your favorite food?" "What's your mother's maiden name?" "What's your social security number?"
