How much personal information are people required to share online?
Whether it’s for work or for school, people are sometimes required to share personal information. We asked people of Virginia if too much is asked online. They said yes but also shared that they believe there’s too much oversharing and too much data mined.

KEVIN HARRELL: We have major data centers all around the country that just do nothing but collect information about us.
Our health, health status, and how much we have in the bank, and stuff like that, and they shouldn't know that.
