This is absolutely terrible. Besides the privacy/anonymity factor, VPNs are also used to access geoblocked content. Some autocratic regimes ban a lot of valuable resources on the internet because they want to control people’s access to information. This is only going to help the people in power.

I never even really considered that reddit mods might be able to see my email (I assumed site admins/devs could see it but not mods of a subreddit). I'm tempted to go swap out my registered email for a temp one now, just for the hell of it...
Had thought about deleting my account entirely (not over the api stuff... just sick of the hivemind over on reddit) but wondering now if all the api stuff might drive off some of that obnoxious crowd and bring back some of the folks from a long time ago... especially since spez seems to be praising elon so much lately lol.
