How is it an invasion of privacy if the content in question isn’t private? Literally the only thing private is the link between the username and the person, which OP hasn’t done anything to violate.
(I’m assuming OP only looked up the public info, not logging into D’s account)
That’s like saying “how is it an invasion of privacy to stalk someone? They were walking around on public streets the whole day!”. It’s more about consent and gut feeling IMO. She didn’t choose to share her Reddit name with OP and seemed not to want him to know.
Not going to comment on anything else that’s happening here, just wanted to respond to that one point
That’s like saying “how is it an invasion of privacy to stalk someone? They were walking around on public streets the whole day!”.
That’s not even close to comparable.
When you post publicly on Reddit, you give permission for anyone with access to Reddit to read your posts. That naturally includes OP.
You calling this an invasion of privacy is like calling someone who follows and listens to podcasts that you create and broadcast an invasion of your privacy. If you put stuff out to the world, you have to realise that ‘the world’ also includes your SO and other people in your life who can link it back to you. Hiding behind a username won’t change that fact.
Not gonna continue, you want to leave it here and I’ll respect your wishes.
