What ho, Etsy users! Rejoice, for they have decided to become a social network and follow the sterling example of Facebook by buggering about with your privacy.
See
Ars Technica for the joyful news.
An edifying quote:
"I just found a woman who's Etsy profile comes up on Google as the 5th link. I was expecting 6 or 7 pages down, but it's on the very first page, right after her online resumes," wrote one concerned user on the Penny Arcade forums. "She signed up a year ago, under the old privacy policy, and hasn't logged in since 2010. And now I know what dildo she uses. Right down to the curvature and coloring."This will not end well.
