Actually, if one uses the official Reddit app, they do have real names. It’s part of the data that the app reads out of your phone’s settings.
The official app didn’t exist in 2011 so they likely don’t have that information unless the user kept their account and used the official app at one point
has anyone made a data request, especially GDPR, to confirm this?
The only place I have my name, is in “emergency information”. Are you saying apps can access that?
That’s scary af.
I would not want my reddit or lemmy name be hard tied to my real name.
And now people are just starting to realize what real issue with the official reddit app is.
Test message
All these inputs apps have free-reign over need to become part of the explicit privacy settings.
