Considering in ancient times, your location was well known.

Everyone knew if you left a village, everyone knew where you went.

There seems to be a short time, where human population has exploded beyond any ability to track everyones location. But then we got a really useful GPS and wifi system.

I don't mind if people know I'm on a freeway, I do mind if laws are bad.

So whats your address since you don't seem to mind any stranger knowing?

i dont so if youre interested here you go:

6 Victoria Warehouse, wolves, WV1 4LG

anyone i buy something from on ebay gets it, countless websites get it, even random goons ive sold stuff to on gumtree get it so why should i care if its known by anyone else, as far as im aware no one is out to get me so im not exactly worried

Its on my website (in profile).

Its also on a bunch of lists because I signed a petition.

not even just ancient times, in anything smaller than a town this was common as recently as the 80s, i grew up in a little village in cornwall and everyone knew everyones business.
