Did you read the article? That isn’t what’s happening. I can understand your confusion because of the provocative and misleading article title, but they’re adding names to your private profile.
This is correct.
However, having that information tied to your account at all is a little problematic, as you can only leak the data you have. No name? Can't leak it.
And did you bother reading the other comments? You wrote this one 18 hours ago, and 22 hours ago, just below I wrote "... so I couldn’t be arsed to read the article before getting up."
I'm going to assume you didn't. Here's a link so you can get caught up.

Here’s a link if you need help: Link
You're right. I did think that. And I was wrong. I apologize.
