IMPORTANT PRIVACY PSA: YouTube has foolishly rolled out a new “feature” that will dox you or compromise your privacy without you knowing! When you tap the share button on a video and send a link now, anyone opening that link will see your channel name, handle, and avatar! Enabled by default. 🫪
YouTube share notification showing a red circular avatar at top, with text "Sent by" followed by redacted channel name and handle. Two buttons below: "Allow messaging" (white) and "Not now" (dark). Bottom text reads "Allowing as @" with redacted handle. The image demonstrates YouTube's new feature that exposes user channel information when sharing video links.YouTube Privacy settings screen with a red-bordered section highlighting "Channel visibility for shared links" toggle (currently off). The setting states: "Show your channel name, handle, and profile picture to people who open links you share outside YouTube." Other visible options include "About your location," "Blocked contacts," "YouTube Terms of Service," and "Allow users to mention me" toggle (also off).

In China, for $30, you can have Dwayne Johnson drive your Tesla. Sounds too cheap to be true? Well, what you’re actually buying is a tiny replica of The Rock's head sitting above the rearview mirror and tricking Tesla into thinking an attentive driver is behind the wheel while FSD is engaged.

In my experience, if person A shares an Instagram link and person B opens it, B’s account will likely be suggested to A. Meaning if B uses their real name and a recognised profile picture, Instagram doxxes them. I have unintentionally learned the real names of many online friends this way.
