Security Question

I don't know where to ask this, but I am wondering about the security of the personal information on DU. I refer to information that would identify each member with their name. Yes, I do have paranoia, so I worry that if the election is successfully stolen, members could become part of the enemies and vindictive lists.

But one thing I do like about DU is that it gives social interaction without having to know more than anyone cares to share. I share very little. Some people? I feel like their family trees could be put together on ancestry.com based on what they've shared. We have control. I'm skittish about these things.


P.S. I think "Help & Search" might be a page to try. I think an admin would be likely to see your question there. They would know.

To lock us up .

Can’t help with your tech question as we’re busy packing our stuff. If necessary, we figure we can make it to New Zealand between the election and the inauguration.
