Not sure I entirely agree. I don't post anything online that I wouldn't tell my mother. But maybe that makes me a "privacy square". If by "ID Management issues" you include the National Identity Register, then interestingly that doesn't follow any of the rules you've given for being happy to surrender information: 1.
