Private playlist anonymisation

Private playlists show “anonymous” as the creators name, but link to the user profile which shows the full username. In my opinion this gives a false sense of privacy as users could think only the anonymous part gets shown. I know this is a very small issue, because why would you share a private playlist, but then again I don’t see the reason the user should be shared if it is a private playlist.

Hi ​@bertigert !

On Deezer, a user can have a private profile and a private playlist.
I think that in your case the user has a private playlist, and the profile is not private.

It's a private profile. If you have a private profile and playlist yourself you can try it by opening it in a browser where you're not logged in.
