Then why isn't this post on /r/announcements?

Because /r/announcements is visible, and they'd rather hide any of the changes that reduce user privacy somewhere that most users won't see it. That way, by the time they do notice it will have been around for long enough that they can say you should have spoken up sooner.

Hiding it here (or in /r/blog or /r/modnews like the rest of their shitty new features) means users are less likely to find it and complain in time for it to be changed back.

Only 50k people will see this stupid feature instead of 80 million.
