We have a lot of different filters and a lot of different levels of trust/security. Normally, we don't talk about anything disclosing the names of family members, or of our specific location (generally speaking; anyone who wanted to could narrow it down by tracing our IP address, but we still don't give specific localities or the names of places where we go to school or work) in public posts. We don't know of anyone in our immediate family who is on LJ, but we try to keep it as vague as possible just to be certain. It's the kind of thing that we don't necessarily imagine will be used against us someday, but we're aware of the possibility.

As far as material which is non-potentially-incriminating but still personally-sensitive, we also generally make that friends-only by our own choice. We're aware that there are people who choose otherwise, and support and respect their decisions; we just don't think anyone should disclose about certain topics only because they felt pressured to by a certain person or group.
