How can we protect ourselves on the internet?

Question

I am finding questions that people have given too much information to one person and have ended up being stalked. A lot of the more naive internet users out there don't realize that what little information is required to track someone down and what is available.

I would like everyone to input on what ways people can protect themselves. I hope people that read this, take our advice and take the necessary precautions.

I have heard too many stories about people being cyberstalked and even stalked IRL. I feel we need to remind those who are oblivious to the dangers on the internet and help them protect themselves.
