I’ve advocated for increased inter-user privacy controls on behalf of myself and other FetLife users for several years
If you were one of the people who used the FetLife Exporter hosted on this site and were sent a vaguley threatening email from Susan Wright telling you to delete your content, you should also be certain to read the update posted on the Exporter tool by following this link.
P.S. I don't have any FetLife users' passwords; none of the tools I wrote saves or logs any of them, by design. (Read the code if you need to be double-dom sure.) HOWEVER, I did get an email from a FetLife user who Susan Wright contacted who told me that Susan Wright had changed her account's password without her consent. (Here's a PDF of the timeline of events as the user shared them with me [and in plain text].) So in other words, when the FetLife staff tells you "Don't ever give your FetLife password to anyone," what they're saying is, "because we'll just take it anyway." I sent them back this note:
- You will announce the release of a FetLife feature that offers FetLife users the ability to export their content. As you may recall from our previous correspondence [ there is open-source code available to you [ that can give you a head start implementing this feature.

If, as you claim, you have no problem with people exporting their own FetLife content, then the company you represent will illustrate that by taking one or both of the following actions:
The fact that you don't offer Fetlife users the ability to control their content without simultaneously jeopardizing the privacy of other users has long been a known problem. [ These types of best-practice privacy options are also among the earliest "Improvements" requested by FetLife users in response to FetLife's solicitation of feature requests.
