Reddit opened an account in my name…
Reddit opened an account in my name without me asking. I discovered this account existed by accident going through my emails. Naturally i was automatically subscribed to everything selling my information. Had to go into reddit to disable it all. It's literally just there passively collecting information on me without my knowledge. I never use reddit. Once or twice i may have viewed reddit to see something technical but i never posted anything nor did i ever login to it, nor did i agree to be signed up and connected to my google account. I assumed that what i was viewing was public. I can't disable my account without creating a password. I can't create a password. When I create a password, I can't login because i'm logged in through google, so i don't know my username. As I say, I never signed upto this crap. Companies like this need to disappear not just off the internet, but every single employee who is complicit in any way in collecting data on people without them knowing, needs to be prosecuted. You should never find yourself going through a maze of forms to close down an account you never asked to be open in the first place. It was opened passively somehow through google, and I never agreed to it. This shouldn't be tolerated. It's downright unethical. And stuff like this ruins the internet.
