Youtube is apparently rolling out a new change where when you share a video link it will share you profile with whoever clicks it.

Video with info on it here(CW: Reactionary/fash stuff on screen at times): https://youtu.be/oFx46sqo8O0

Everyone should be aware of this especially when sharing to something like hexbear. It can break your anonymity without you even realizing.

CW to that video for all the hitlerite bullshit

but sadly all it takes is one moment of not thinking of it and someone posts a youtube link to Hexbear and doxxes their google account which is linked to their real identity usually. For a commie site where opsec matters that's a big concern.
