Why is opt-in the default? Shouldn't we opt out? |
|
No, the default expectation for social media profiles is that they are findable. If I type in "eugen rochko linkedin" into Google I expect to see my profile rather than go and enable it separately in the innards of LinkedIn's settings area. If you think that that is not the expectation for your own community, that is why you now have this admin setting to control it. |

fixes #11750.
this is my first time working with both ruby and rails so i'm not quite sure where to put a test for this. i'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction for that :)
testing the view for the
noindexmeta tag might be nice, but as far as i can tell things aren't really set up for that kind of integration testing?
