General reminder: Do not discuss your ✨ crimes ✨ on Fediverse. Every six seconds, some tech bro announces an extremely effective scraper and indexer for Fediverse and gets trounced for it.

Those are the ones we hear about.

No matter the privacy level you set for a post here, you should assume it's public in some capacity.

@EveHasWords even better, DO NOT PUT ONLINE ANYTHING YOU DO WANT NOT EXPOSED.

Unless it's encrypted and the keys tightly controlled, data you think is confidential is only protected as well as the actions and practices of entities with the *ability* to access it allow. Private data is exposed in breaches *daily*, and that doesn't even factor in people with legitimate access who might look and disclose for any reason

Edit: "do not want exposed" strengthened to "do want not exposed"
