Bull. You're trusting everyone on the internet to not abuse the information you gave out.
At best in this case, it's just everyone you know / email with. How many people you communicate with can be trusted online with all the information you give them? Most people use 2 or 3 passwords total! What if they lose control of their accounts? And when was the last time someone got in trouble for info they put on Facebook? Minutes ago? Seconds? The internet is arguably more dangerous than driving, though you're less likely to die, you instead just lose everything. I've had more viruses than car crashes (zero).
