Any Tom, Dick and Harry can set up a site, say a forum site, and ask you for registrations. During registration, you will give up some personal details like date of birth, where you are born, your mother's maiden name, etc. I don't mind giving out this information but I am concerned that it will fall into the hands of scammers who can use it to impersonate me. I have thought about inventing a completely fictitious online persona, and to be safe, I might actually have to do it. Privacy is definitely out the door.

I spend way more time trying to form relationships and gain people's trust by revealing everything about me then trying to make sure 1 little thing doesn't get out or gets into the wrong hands. I think people that don't embrace this, especially businesses, will fall behind. I agree that in today’s world privacy is just about out the door.
