Person posts cool tool they wrote, that they find useful. Shows it to the community, this community, which many may really appreciate. Then gets ripped for not thinking through the complex privacy issues with said tool. Not everything is malicious.

It would be better to give constructive criticism, like:

This is a really cool tool! I might even choose to use it, but I have a few concerns: 1) it sends too much data unfiltered to the algolia search servers. Could you instead make it a button that only then triggers the request or opens another browser window? 2) the analytics are also a concern. In general, you should always make these opt-in; better, ask the user through a dialogue to enable them; even better, request feedback through some other system (github for example).

Let’s try and be nice here and give people the benefit of the doubt.
