Hello. Apparently some of our posts to this forum are visible to the public on Google for people who are not even signed into IMDb, which is a privacy violation. How is this possible? Please advise. Thank you.

When I search my IMDB profile by typing "thenolanfan", the first result is my IMDB Profile even when I'm using a VPN.
Can anybody (who doesn't google my username frequently) check if I'm actually that popular? (I doubt it)

Again, I'm aware posts are public WITHIN IMDb...the above is not clear. If they are public to everyone within and outside of IMDb, then that should be stated as such. There is a difference.

Thank you for your response and the information. I will not be posting here again in the future.
Seems perfectly clear to me. "Visible to everyone"
Nowhere does it say the information is only public within IMDb, nowhere does the phrasing imply a limit on who has access. Everyone means everyone. You have imagined a limitation which doesn't exist.

Thank you for the condescension. yes, I am aware of the definition of the word.
You're most welcome. Glad you finally understood.
