Your personal saftey and private keys.

I am bewildered with how many neighbors share their private telephone numbers in public posts either on this platform or others. Your phone number is like your private keys. You share your number with people that you want to have it. Posting telephone numbers on a public platform is like giving away your private keys. This can lead to an increase in unwanted calls and scams etc. How private or how liquid is your telephone number? Recommendations of business and services etc has Neighbors also sharing their private keys on a public platform. Although a business is more in the public arena and their number's more liquid, this is still sharing their private keys without their permission. This post is just about safety on a public platform. The idea of sharing telephone numbers in private messages only is something to think about.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
