That is why I do not have e.g. FB, Twitter and another sh@tspread account and have a bit of different nicknames
on different forums.
Even if anybody in my country can tie one of my nicks to my real identity, I do not want them to get further,
to forums where I used to post or trade.
This can be avoided by not exposing info like country together with my nick repeatedly,
that can easily be listed by the search engines.
And most agencies do not wish to put that much effort on tracking a potential threat, so why not keep some simple rules?
Truth is that I mostly participate only in legal things but who know what kinda bureaucrat thinks
when hobbies like lasers, drones, airsoft, photography and electronics are tied together even with the fact
of me being a contractor for the army in drone build and testing area
Better to not give a chance to them.
However, exposing only EU is fine so I do so
