"Privacy" settings are great, they may work towards other users, but you have all that information on the company servers, ready to be harvested by the company and if you study user agreements you will see that you sign away pretty much most of your rights to the information.
Not to PARF this up, but you guys have noticed that Zuckerberg has ambitions towards the US presidency? Now THAT's something. Guy has 75% of the US population's personal data, their political views, estimate on income etc. etc. - That should really help optimize the campaign ...

You've already exposed all the same stuff here.
You are on this board 14+ years now and have nearly 13,000 posts.
I do this from time to time.
Took me less than 10 minutes to find your email, phone number, and home address based on nothing more than the information in the quoted post above.
The how it's done is pretty simple.
People are creatures of habit.
It's why I don't even bother hiding.
