I just came across a strange 'Discussion Post' on my DS Daily Alert. After a few "clicks" and reading of info, I learned that ANYONE in the world can go to Google.com and type in Daily Strength- (then the member's profile name) and it will show TONS of stuff about you and what you have posted on this site! I googled myself and it shows many things about me, including all the posts I've read, written, commented on, etc...

I was so shocked to find this out! So far, I don't think it is giving access to my actual profile page and journal. However, it might and I just haven't found it on google yet.

PLEASE research this for yourself! Please be careful about what you choose to post and comment on. Try to remember that it is OPEN to the entire public.

This is such a disappointment and violation to privacy, in my opinion! :(
