I wouldn't expect any system to be totally secure, much less remain secure forever in the face of adversary advances, but that's not the claim. Security is process of choosing between "less safe" and "more safe;" and continuing to fork toward safety until you reach “safe enough”.

I totally do agree with you. This decision means the webmasters will have to think twice when embedding social sharing buttons. I am tired of being tracked for no reasons on every website I visit.

#Facebook and #Instagram (and #Whatsapp, who knows) are actively scanning texts on your images. Don't rely on them to hide sensitive data or avoid indexing.
