Name on Internet

Post by youngfilmmaker »

Many people have told me not to put my name on the internet. They say its for security reasons. Has any one have been told the same? I dont get why people say this.

Why not put real name? Not even in your filmmaking site?

I guess you could put your name, omitting your address and school and all that, to avoid some kind of rapist. and also so that if anything nasty you've said affects anyone, they can't hunt you down and beat you up. ;)

If you use your real name it would make it easier for someone to track you down if they wanted to. Not using your real name gives you more protection but you could argue that the risk is not worth worrying about. It depends on what you do online. If you talk to people and play nice then I can't see the risk.

If you pick up a stalker or someone who wants to target you then hiding your real name makes it more difficult for them.

Obviously you have to be careful who you communicate with on the net but as long as you are sensible I don't think it matters much.

Your address, what school you go to, where you work etc are more sensitive bits of information in my opinion.

If you are creating your own website and people will be contacting you. Then yes you will need to give your real name, but not your address.
