Not my data.
Ask me how I know.

Asking honestly
What kind of 'private data' can you get from Twitter?

First, you didn't know what the abbreviation I.D. meant, now you don't know how social media can glean private data from users. You truly must live on another planet. Either that or you're hopelessly naive.

I know what ID means...I was clowning you (and rightfully so) because you abbreviated it as if the word 'identification' was TWO words. You wrote I.D.
Thought you may have picked up on the joke when I posted O.K. a few minutes later.
Amazing that you haven't figured out my M.O. around here yet.
Hint: if I'm addressing you or any of your posts, I'm either clowning you or outright laughing at your daily ridiculousness.
I should have known better than to think you would get the joke and that you have any sense of humor.
Whoosh!
You're so much fun Boxers

Doesn't take much to make the simple-minded believe he's one of the brightest stars in the universe. I'm tickled pink, though, that you're such a big fan of mine.

Oh yeah...absolutely. That has long been in my huge arsenal of racing angles.

If someone is dumb enough to put their phone number, true address and primary email on social media then I can't help them.
Search history...who cares?
I presume that is being tracked by a number of sources and there's nothing I can do about it.

You would be surprised how much they can learn from Disgrace Book, and not just from stuff people actually post. Photos, birthday wishes, etc can be all that is needed to figure out passwords and other things.

Yep - which is why all of my passwords are made up gibberish words, kinda like my posts here at PA ...something like shandengruud (don't try it - I made that word up too) 
Too many fools answer those posts with probing questions like:
what was the first car you drove?
what street did you live on as a child?
