Reddit had a feature to hide browsing history, which was quietly removed, leaving users' data visible to admins, staff, and potentially to advertisers.
Despite Meta having systems to notify users of possible compromise, Reddit did not inform the author about the situation. When the author reached out for help, they received no response even after months.
The author believes that Reddit's actions indicate surveillance capitalism, where user privacy is compromised for various purposes, and states that Reddit is indifferent to the privacy concerns of its users.
