Americans Mindlessly Hand Over Personal Details To A Complete Stranger

Social activist Mark Dice hit the street in San Diego to carry out an experiment to see how many Americans would mindlessly follow his orders and hand over personal details without question if he assumed a position of authority.

Dice approached random people and with no explanation other than “it’s a new program,” asked for a list of personal information including their name, address, birth date, where they bank and so on.

The results were shocking.

Nervously handling a football, one guy immediately, and without question gave Dice all his personal information, and even spelled out his address for him.

The guy only questioned Dice when he asked for his social security number, “the final field on the entry form.”

Dice claimed he was gathering “data for some programs,” prompting the man to claim he did “not feel comfortable” giving out that information, after he’d already given Dice everything he would need were he a criminal or identity thief.

As Dice notes, the guy left without even asking who Dice was, or for more of an explanation.
