Ethical question: Someone I don't know but share a common interest with posted a picture of a very cool delivery he got with the address blocked out but the tracking number clearly visible. Do I tell him that the shipper gives a partial address online and will give a complete address and photo of the delivered package if contacted by email? or is someone else's OpSec none of my business.

I think you should reach out if it's not too inconvenient for you, and you could put it politely as, "Hey, I noticed that you blocked out your address so you must care about your privacy, but I wanted to make sure you knew that the tracking number defeats that."

You don't have to say anything about whether YOU tried to defeat it.
