I bet the author got exactly what he aimed for, which is a lot of traffic. This type of news writer intentionally aims for such sensationalistic headlines, even though they end up dis-informing people (one great example of this is Fox news).
- getone 15y agowtf are you two talking about. The author never says anything about them "becoming public". He just says that after the 31st, all profiles will BE public (since they delete all private ones).
- Groxx 15y agoWhich, because it doesn't imply any are excluded ("all profiles"), implies all existing profiles, public and private, will be public. From there it's a pretty straight conclusion to think they'll switch existing private ones to public. The rest of the article (actual text of release excluded) reinforces this conclusion, and does precisely nothing to discourage it. Of course, anyone reading the actual text of the release will understand what's going on. But A) clearly few of the commenters there did so, and B) they've already linkbaited their way to free advertising / ad revenue.
