Nothing has changed quite so much in the last 30 years as our access to information on the individual level.
And if there's any proof of that, it's how quickly the internet can find everything out about somebody with almost no information.
TikToker @micarenee found this out to her detriment after she had the internet help her track down a man who found her at the beach and flirted with her.
They found him...but they found out something she'd rather not have known, too.
@micarenee TikTok I come to you today cause I heard what you do for others 😭 I think he said he’s from Detroit 😂 #fyp #helpmefindhim #boostofhope #viral
After requesting TikTok do their thing, @micarenee was dismayed when they instead turned up the man's wife.
Unfortunately, the man's wife was less than amused.
His wife, known as @sharee_chantal on TikTok, posted a (now-private) follow-up video to address how much the situation hurt her and her four children.

When talking to the man's wife, our original poster was relieved to find the woman didn't blame her.
In fact, she asked @micarenee to leave the video up so everybody could see what was going on with her husband.
In a follow-up video, she shared the sad moment she had with the man's wife.

For his side, the man uploaded a video where he said after a 7 minute conversation 5 months ago, he wasn't expecting to be tracked down.
“I was already enjoying myself in the ocean, basking in God’s blessings upon me as the sun (shone) upon my bald head, then you wobbled your a** down to the water,” he said.
He also said Mica was "weird as hell and very lame" for still thinking about their conversation.

“All I have to say is, ‘Ladies, don’t believe in fairy tales. You may go viral,'” Mica said to close her update.
