Never block your full name or address in a chat filter when live streaming

Whether you’re a gamer, influencer or you just like going live once in a while, it’s important to take the necessary safety measures to protect your identity. This might include hiding your real name, address and other personally identifiable information. Some live streaming services allow you to block certain words or phrases from appearing in the chat room. It might seem counterintuitive, but you should never use chat filters to hide your personal information. Why? Because it confirms their validity for any malicious people trying to identify you online. https://www.totaldefense.com/security-blog
