    That’s absolutely not what it means. They are identifying users in their private profile data, not publicly along with your reviews.

      I mean, to be fair, if it’s a private profile, then theoretically the only ones (besides the company of course) that would see it would be the user. But the user already knows their own name, obviously. Which means this wouldn’t be as private a thing as it used to be, because why would the company spend time, personnel, and money developing a new aspect of the software for the site just to provide info that they and the user already would know.

      Unless of course there’s something I’m still misunderstanding. Which, mind you, is definitely a possibility knowing me. Please correct me if it is indeed the case.

        Yeah they’ve absolutely made a change, and there are legitimate concerns about them having the data, and their vulnerability to a hack that might leak it for example.

        I’m only trying to correct the idea that everybody’s public reviews now have their name attached to it.
