I don’t think I should need to. If a company is going to unexpectedly publish information about me on short notice, the onus is on them to consider the implications and explain what they’re doing.

Okay, so, you're concerned about a potential privacy violation, but won't take steps to find out if there is one to begin with? I don't have a lot of sympathy for that position. Go and fill your TripleByte profile with misinformation if it suits you, I suppose. Edit: I missed that there's a privacy setting to make the profiles non-searchable. So, I guess you care enough to complain on the internet, but not enough to even ask if there's a privacy violation? Seems like there's a name for that.

  Just saw your edit. My emphasis continues to be on unexpected and short notice, with an added obscure (notice that you missed it too) and opt-out. I should not need to be prepared to jump at a moment’s notice any time someone decides they want to “accelerate [their] mission.” (And I am going to opt out—or, more likely, delete my account altogether—but that doesn’t mean I can’t also complain on the Internet.)

    And, again, you care enough to complain on the internet about something that may not even be a problem, but not enough to do anything about it for anyone else, or even to find out if there's anything wrong in the first place. And, you would rather complain than simply ask what's going to be displayed. Your virtue signaling earns you no points here, not that I think it matters to you.

      There is very obviously something wrong at this point; reading Ammon’s responses to this thread has been enough to tell me that. I’m not sure what you expect me to do for anyone else; I can tell my Congressperson that I advocate for GDPR-like legislation, but since I didn’t accept the job offer I got from Triplebyte it’s not like I can change their site to turn this launch off for everyone else. (I’m also baffled by your comment about virtue signaling. I’m publicly stating my opinion, yes, and given the number of upvotes I’m getting there seem to be people who agree with me; but my primary goal is not some sort of social signalling, but to respond to you in order to clarify my stance on the situation.)

      The whole point is that they shouldn't have to ask...
