Watch People Get Really Freaked out by Their Own Social Media Information [Video]

If you’re like approximately everyone these days, you probably share a lot of information over social media platforms. How much do people share on the Internet? Enough for a guy to walk around and pretend to be psychic to complete strangers using information they didn’t realize was publicly available, apparently.

We have conflicting feelings about this, because the whole fake psychic act probably wasn’t super fun for the video’s subjects. We’d rather see someone leave people confused and bewildered in a slightly more humorous way. Still, how did these people not realize they maybe posted that information in the most publicly accessible place there is?
