Reddit only shares nonpublic information about you in the following ways. We do not sell this information.
**With your consent. We may share information about you with your consent or at your direction.**
Whether I am online or not is not public information. I did not consent to this change as it is opt-out, not opt-in. Implied consent is a slope Reddit has been happy to slide down in the past, so this does not surprise me in the slightest.
