alt Hacker NewsHi, this is Max from Notion.
First: This is documented and we also warn users when they publish a page. But, that’s not good enough!
Second: We don’t like this and are looking at ways to fix this either by removing the PII from the public endpoints or by replacing it with an email proxy similar to GitHub’s equivalent functionality for public commits.
P.S: Some folks here have speculated that this should be a 1 minute fix. Unfortunately that is not the case. :(

While you're here, why is Notion so slow on Firefox? I mean extremely slow.
I will speculate that Notion has had more than one minute to fix it.
Can you share the warning? I made a public page and would say it was not clear to me this was a consequence of doing that. The warning as I remember it (a month ago) makes it sound like the information on this page is going to be public -- not - oh yeah the email addresses of everyone who edited this page will also be leaked.
This flaw was reported four years ago. Forgive me if I don’t believe a word of what you’re saying.
Considering it was reported in 2022, and it is obviously an error, I don't think it is unfair for people here to have expected it to be fixed by now since it was first reported.
