I thought I understood the erosion of privacy, but clearly I was wrong

People are putting more and more private information online -- deeply personal thoughts come out on public Twitter feeds all the time, for instance. And I thought I understood that. I don't like it, and don't like how easily and frequently I fall into doing it, but I thought I had a handle on how common it was and how personal those details were.

But this evening I was sent an invitation to a Facebook event that shattered all my expectations. The organizers have posted their bank account number and sort code to the event page. Good grief.
