The wonderful world of Steemit never ceases to surprise, and you sir, never cease from uncovering and sharing good info - thanks!

This isn't news to me, and the only reason we are hearing about it is because the info was harvested "improperly". Rest assured folks, there is no fuck to be given about your privacy, except from YOU. LEARN THE LESSON - if you trust some entity more than your own common sense, expect to get burned. Never had a Facebook, never will. I value my control and my privacy too much to trade it for convenience.
