    Glassdoor “may update your Profile with information we obtain from third parties”

      Imagine Reddit does this next lmao one day you open up and all your real life social media are linked to your u/Lick_My_Fuckhole profile, your coworkers see you as “people you may know” on their profiles. Neat

        Didn’t Google+ do that?

        It’s been so long since that debacle I honestly don’t remember.

          YouTube did it when Google bought them and changed everyone’s unique username to their Google account (real) name

            Looks like they prodded but didn’t unilaterally force.

          Facebook did it as well, maybe a couple years after opening up to the non university crowd. Neither FB at the time or G+ years later gave any thought that their no pseudonym policies put someone’s safety at risk.

          Google+ was a Facebook-like social media. It was only ever supposed to be real names, so no issue.

        I mainly use reddit now for porn. Maybe a good way to get into a freak fetish ring…

          The only fetish subreddit I followed was banned. There was not even any nudity.

          Fuck Reddit.
