I am so sick to death about these constant "privacy concerns".
If you have some deep dark secret that you don't want the world to know, then don't go around posting it on a system that bills itself as a way of providing ubiquitous access to everything posted to it!
These people who get concerned about privacy are the digital equivalent of somebody posting a billboard with their contact information, then claiming a violation of their privacy when people use that to contact them!
You posted it online. On a public forum. You cannot expect even a modicum of privacy when you do that. If you have a problem with people reading what you write, don't write it!

- whughes 17y agoThese are things that people aren't posting, though. This program doesn't look at a field on people's profiles which states their sexuality. It guesses from the information which they make available. You may well conceal the information you want to keep hidden, but then the information you post as public lets people make inferences.
