I think the mistake is thinking those profiles are private. How could you ever meet someone without some ability for people to see your profile? I've never tried any dating sites, so may be overlooking something obvious to others.
- ashtonkem 5y agoThere’s an expectation that that information is compartmentalized somehow, a bit like how everyone at a gay bar can see you there but only the people at the gay bar can see you.
- throwawayboise 5y agoNothing on social media, or really any online service, should ever be considered private. It may claim to be, but ultimately it's not in your control.
- mPReDiToR 5y agoI've been telling my friends/family/anyone who will listen for two decades plus that anything you type into a computer is probably public now, or will be one day. Never type anything you wouldn't want to be taken out of context and read out in court, either a law court, or the court of public opinion.
- ashtonkem 5y agoThat’s factually true, but: 1) That’s not what people expect. 2) There is an argument that it shouldn’t be this way.
