I’ve been doing the same. The potential downside risk of having LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram profiles just keeps growing and growing. I’m a complete ghost on the Internet. I have Google alerts set up for my names and email addresses, and I regularly attempt to docs myself to find any leaks. I also can’t understand why anyone in the public eye doesn’t completely sanitise their social media profiles. The amount of people brought down by 10 year old stupid tweets is insane.

I was going to ask if you said "docs" as in "doxxing" [0] but then a quick Wikipedia search got me to the etymology [1] of "doxxing" which comes from "docs" as in "documents"! TIL
