How would you feel/react if your home address was announced & published very publicly the same way celebrities experience? (lemmy.world)

I feel second-hand fear & paranoia on behalf of celebs whose home addresses are public worldwide knowledge.

Anyone can google their address and show up/take pictures/lurk/stalk,

But thankfully most people would never think to do such a thing nor have any inclination to do so,

but the fact that they COULD and sometimes HAVE, is very concerning ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

I wish sensitive information like that could be kept proprietary and wasn't so easy for anyone in the world to access.

You know as a matter of fact, it's much more difficult to find the address of acquaintances we know in daily life. Which is a good thing.

How terrifying it must b for celebrities, so they have body guards and a security detail and full-fledged security system at their houses ๐Ÿ˜ฅ it's exhausting thinking about it.

Here in Sweden you can just google a phone number or a name and get the address, a map of the area, an guide to find the right apartment, the persons gender, how many lives in the home, how many vehicles the person owns, the person's age and birthday, the size of their aprtment, the aproximate value of their home, and more without any cost.

This is normal here, and since everyone is listed we don't really think about it.

That being said, I would be quite annoyed if the press did an article on me where they published my home address...

Well, la-deee-daa! Look at you, with all your safety and security and lack of fear. I bet you even think you're European or something snooty like that.
