Because these users did just offer it to a stranger. That's what is so confusing to me. Users claim they would not offer this info to a stranger, yet they gladly post it on social. Maybe there's still confusion on how private settings do/don't work??? Maybe people just are not capable of understanding the difference of the stranger/social post??? Maybe they don't really care, and are only saying they wouldn't give info to a stranger because they don't understand/like the question, and just answer how they think the questioner wants to hear?
Because there is no law preventing it.
>why are companies allowed to just offer it?
