Tumblr is invading your privacy more than Missing-E is

shortformblog:

Because Missing-e is connected to your browser - not your account. I only have M-e installed on Chrome. So as a test I logged on using IE, Safari and Firefox. And I still had the message telling me to ‘uninstall’ M-e. Yet my second account, which I’ve only ever used on FF, and is not connected to my email address, does not have the message at all.

According to Tumblrs privacy policy, they should not be able to access ‘users information regarding (…) extensions or third party software’. Clearly though, they have. So I think the REAL privacy problem is the fact that somehow tumblr staff are obtaining this information, which they should not be able to access, and are targeting users.

Never mind the fact that I didn’t even have Missing-E INSTALLED on three browsers, and yet the message still popped up on all of them - even after closing it again - is proof of this. 

Sort your shit out tumblr

Thanks to Maurice Cherry for bringing this to our attention.
