GUYS!!! YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE UNSHARED PROJECTS IN THE SCRATCH 3.0 GUI!
THAT CAN LITERALLY REVEAL PERSONAL INFO!
https://llk.github.io/scratch-gui/develop/#402467789 <—– THIS IS LITERALLY AN UNSHARED PROJECT THAT ISN'T MINE!
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/402467789/ <——- LOOK

THERE'S EVEN A CURSE WORD IN THE PROJECT!!!

“heck” is generally not considered to be a curse word in most situations.

Also, you can view unshared projects with any application that uses whatever API is used to retrieve Scratch projects, an example being Forkphorus. Clearly, the ST has decided that being able to do this isn't much of a problem, or else they would have changed the API to not allow this - part of this decision is probably because you need to know the project ID to view the project.

That's because of the projects.scratch.mit.edu API. Not a bug. Also, forkphorus.github.io makes the same happen.

That's why you should never never never never never never never put personal info on the website, nor unshared projects with personal info.

but can this only be for the ST? it shouldn't be for normal scratchers!
They can see every unshared project they like and that's not fair!
ST should disable that, they would only enable it when they need to recover projects, and then to disable it back!

Yes XD I got the idea from here.

If you don't want your projects seen, download them and open them in the Scratch app.

k but i have like 89 projects, do i downlaod all of them? i only have 8 gb left on this PC lol

This seems like a real problem, maybe the Scratch Team could keep that on but only for Scratch Team members, maybe by adding a sign-in or something

yup! but there's a thing called the “bin” where all the deleted comments and posts are kept, and only st members can see it, so no log in, just the same system

Each project is usually around 10mb, so 89 projects would only be hmm… carry the one… 890mb. About 3/4 of a gigabyte.
You'd only have to download the projects that have personal stuff, so I don't think all 89 would need to be offline.
Then again, it's always a good idea to backup all of your work in case something happens to the other copy.

ok!

Problem with downloading: they stay on the servers when you empty trash. I guess you need to remove all sprites, sounds, and backdrops from each project… Actually, I'm not sure. Maybe they stay a couple of times on the servers before they permanently get deleted? I permanently deleted this project, on my test account.

It could be because of the fact that deleted projects get moved to the ‘Trash’ folder in My Stuff.
You have to empty the Trash folder now and again to make your projects disappear (although they could still be archived elsewhere).
