While I was looking around and discovering more about Steemit, my eyes paused at their Privacy Policy. M jaw dropped when I read this disturbing part (I pinched myself, no it's not a dream):
We may partner with third-party advertisers, ad networks, and analytics providers to deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests and to better understand your use of the Services. These third parties may collect information sent by your computer, browser, or mobile device in response to a request for content, such as unique identifiers, your IP address, or other information about your computer or device.
I couldn't believe what I was reading. The only reason I joined Steemit was to escape those advertisers bombarding almost every website on the planet.
The good news is (for now), my Firefox addons (AdBlock, Ghostery, uMatrix) aren't showing any third-party advertisers on Steemit. But according to that policy, Steemit might turn into Facebook one day! Is it possible that Steemit has already partnered and is doing it secretly behind our backs? Suddenly I'm having mixed feelings about Steemit...
If any developer is reading this, please enlighten us.
