You wouldn't say that if some private aspect of your own life was revealed to the public without your consent.

I'd be wary about admitting to such things on a public forum

lexalizer | karma 29 | avg karma 1.38 · | 2013-12-04 20:06:28

But it's not public information either, unless you choose to make it public.

I guess what they’re trying to say is that if you were well known you might not need to disclose it because people would already know?

Just say you don't want to disclose it

Disclosure does mean making things public...

What people think and feel in private is often not what they admit in public. For many of these individuals, there is massive incentive not to admit such things.

Doesn't make it right, but we shouldn't assume the people responsible don't feel responsible simply because we aren't hearing about it.

This isn't disclosure

jeltz | karma 6278 | avg karma 2.2 · | 2021-09-29 12:57:04

You are already required to disclose it, just not publicly, so I do not get your point.

Only if he kept it to himself and didn't mention it to anybody - I don't think that's what the OP meant.

In social media you're unknowingly disclosing/sharing intimate details of your life;

If he doesn't want to be asked about it, he shouldnt tell the public about it.

I'm a student. While I do think this would be the thing that I would tell my friends about, I wouldn't post it publicly. When someone speaks candidly to me I see it as something that's not to be shared other than in confidence.

Just because they aren't secretive about it doesn't mean it's an okay thing to do. Doing a bad thing out in the open might make it shameless, but it doesn't make it acceptable.

jasonjei | karma 2026 | avg karma 3.12 · | 2010-10-22 03:35:24+00:00

I think he would have disclosed that if he were unhappy about that, given the already very public nature of the post

ehsankia | karma 11753 | avg karma 3.62 · | 2018-09-26 21:48:03+00:00

Wouldn't you also get hushed for leaking anything else though? Why should there be an exception here?

Faaak | karma 2532 | avg karma 3.16 · | 2018-01-24 22:41:56+00:00

Honest question: what's the problem if you keep it to yourself ?

fiveoak | karma 235 | avg karma 3.85 · | 2015-09-03 12:15:12

In general, it's in your best interest not to disclose it.

anitil | karma 1427 | avg karma 1.62 · | 2021-06-15 00:29:27+00:00

I mean if you were going to do that, you'd want to be sure not to talk about it on a public forum.

jermaustin1 | karma 5006 | avg karma 3.32 · | 2018-01-23 20:54:37+00:00

Are you allowed to divulge that information?
