Like most people, I use the incredible power of not doing anything worth invading my privacy for. It's dumb, but I don't really worry about people invading my privacy most of the time.

I actually censor myself a fair bit. First: I don't talk about atheism on Facebook (and don't link from Facebook back out to here), and second: I avoid giving other people's personal info (I might tell their anecdotes, but always anonymized, or give credit, but always anonymized).
