Yeah but what's the issue of posting your own PII?

I mean I understand that probably you shouldn't, for various reasons. And posting someone else's PII should absolutely be banned. But if I want to post my ID online, what harm can I make to anyone else?

The only concern I can think of would be holding up someone else's id/a fake id and getting that person arrested by the CCP.

It's closer to swatting than PII leakage, but it's the only thing I can come up with.

Not their own, but that of their missing relatives and friends.
