How many times has your privacy been invaded?

It terms of a hostile 3rd party and not an automated system? 5 times.

Snoopy relatives of women I have dated a couple times, a couple times by PIs paid to track me down, and a stalker once.

So...yeah. It's a real problem and none of these people had a legitimate cause to do so. Even beyond FB, etc. I don't post my face online because of shit like that.

Other people have stopped posting pics of me as well, a couple people have been called based on my name being tagged to things on social media.

I went in and untagged myself from a bunch of stuff my parents posted after my online friend commented on one of the pictures. It wasn't that it was super problematic, it's just I realized I really didn't want family pictures broadcast to my friends.

Don't you mean how many times per minute?

per second.. it would be a more suitable scale

Pretty much continuously for the last umpty years, I'd say. It doesn't have to be immediately and personally catastrophic to be a serious problem.
