That sounds like it has some privacy implications that don’t sound too agreeable. Posts you make on one site being duplicated on another site without your knowledge or consent is an ethical breach of trust.

What about “privacy” is being violated when every post and submission is public and indexable by any search engine?

  If you join service Y and make posts with your username under Y, you don’t automatically consent to having those posts reposted on service Z under your username.

    This is not about privacy, it’s about copyright. And pretty much like archive.org, having a site mirroring public content can be argued to be fair use.
