A Bad Privacy Bug 14 years ago

I'm a paying user and this won't make me stop using the service, but there should be a reasonable expectation of privacy here. Obviously the database has to store this information in a retrievable way, but to expose it so carelessly on a regular basis is completely unnecessary.

Of course it's a tradeoff, but there's only one choice guaranteed not to piss off your users. It's an easy decision. Don't look at private data.

  But I do this from my own Pinboard account, which has 
  superpowers. Specifically, it lets me see private bookmarks
  on all accounts. And since I already see everything, I don't
  notice when everybody else starts to see everything, too.
This is not okay.
