In a kind of similar vein....I have a widowed friend in her seventies. She’s quite well off. A year or so ago she started using Twitter to post pictures of her hobby of photographing nature.
I have a twitter account but I only use it to complain about poor service!
I recently heard a programme on local radio regarding people who seek out vulnerable women on Facebook and Twitter and was shocked by what I heard. I immediately checked friends Twitter and, over time, she has given the following information - her full name, the town she lives in, where she goes on her days out and holidays. Recently she even told her followers (who seem to be mostly male) the name of her road and mentioned, amongst other things, that it’s very dark there after midnight and her garden backs onto fields!! A quick google even shows her phone number comes up as a free result on 192.com.
She lives 100 plus miles from me so we don’t get to meet that often, though we keep in touch my email. I am wondering whether I should mention how she is laying herself wide open to goodness knows what. If she could only change her username it might help.
However, I don’t think she will take kindly to being ‘advised’ so I’m not sure what to do.
