    If you are a sane person, then this is the last thing you want to do to me. And I will tell you why. I’m pretty boring, don’t really go too many places. But if you want to hang out chill that’s cool. Are we friends now!? I have a friend!

      That’s kind of naive. Information collected can be sophisticatedly altered.

      A loner with no friends or social activities, visits a website known for radical communist sentiment. That won’t play well in media.

      Sure you can do similar for anyone. But the media would have an easy time turning you into a public enemy.
