As all sites should be. I'm on the internet, mr world wide. When did we expect privacy. Don't put nothing online you don't want the world to know.

I used to think like this, but it's a bit more nuanced./ If you tell people they can't have any expectation of privacy, it's essentially telling people of persecuted minorities that they're not welcome.

Perfect privacy is impossible, but it shouldn't be trivial to violate someone's privacy when their membership of such a community is relevant.
