Am I the only one bothered that protondb just shares your information like this? They have no privacy policy, no way to delete reviews, no way to post reviews without providing system info and now they share that info with others??

    If you decide to contribute there, it's quite clear that all the information is public. I mean you can see how the website is structured and what kind of information can be found at each entry.

    Additionally, the github states the following about the protondb data: "Data exports from ProtonDB.com released under ODbL" - see here: https://github.com/bdefore/protondb-data

    When you post a review the expectation is that you're contributing to the site and can easily reverse this. Compiling everything in a database and putting it on github permanently is not part of the deal, and applying this licence to it without your consent is just outragous:

    Database Contents License (DbCL) Summary: Waive all rights in the individual Contents of a Database licensed under the ODbL

    If Facebook did this there would be massive outcry.
