Non-SSL, and no explicit statement that my photo won't be reused? Cool site, but I'm not using it.

- mod 11y agoI expect you're quite the outlier. There are dozens, maybe hundreds, of pictures of me on the internet already. I certainly don't care if this site has one, and I couldn't care less about its transfer being encrypted.
- nodata 11y agoOf course I'm an outlier, I'm on HN. We're all outliers. But we are the techies who will remind people: "don't forget that's not encrypted", "don't forget they might re-use your photograph".
- m-app 11y agoThis. My girlfriend was happily uploading picture after picture until I asked her semi-rhetorically "I wonder what they're doing with all those uploaded pictures?" and after thinking about that for a second she closed the tab.
- Nadya 11y ago>In addition to age and gender, we also got additional information such the User Agent string of the users of the web site, the latitude and longitude of location from where the picture was uploaded and more. This is represented in following JSON document. Seems like they really don't need to know where you were when you took the picture. But they gather that data anyway. :)
- finnn 11y agoWhile I absolutely agree with the sentiment, I must point out that they accidently have SSL, even if they don't know it, because CloudFlare. It's just not forced, which is unfortunate. And yeah, the lack of privacy stuff is concerning.
