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 😟

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 😥 it’s exhausting thinking about it.

    The nice thing about being a regular person is that very few people have any reason to care.

    If you buy something online, the merchant has your name and address. They could come to your house, but why would they?

      One crazy ex (or, hopefully ex) and one’s tune changes quick.

      Or sometimes you’re born into a shit family, and THEY stalk you when you try to get away.

      yeah thankfully I don’t worry about such things whatsoever, but we’ve all heard in the news once in awhile these things do happen, for example a construction worker on a house came into the window of a sleeping child’s bedroom one night and kidnapped her
