You don't actually have to share those details publicly if you don't want, to be fair. :/

Edit: for comparison and openness's sake, my profile: https://plus.google.com/116103902550362700148/about

I have few qualms about sharing that, given that I know exactly what I've shared from there.

Dude, maybe people do not want to provide that info to anyone.

Thanks - I wasn't award that I could hide the info (it certainly wasn't made obvious by the dialog). I still think that forcing me to fumble around in G+'s settings to do this is unnecessary (although I can see why Google is doing this!).
