Privacy is important, but I will say that the dangers of giving out information on the internet are retarded. Who the hell is going to pick out some random person on the internet who lives halfway across the globe, find out their information, travel to their location, all just to rape and murder them? You have a higher probability of being raped and murdered by someone near you than someone who just happened to find out your information online. (Not saying this to you in particular, DJ. I'm just venting at no one in particular about how overhyped the dangers of the internet are perceived.)
But yeah, it isn't right for websites to give out private information like that without your permission, and the default option should be "no." It should be your choice what information you share with the world and what information you keep to yourself.
