Creeped out!

In the past couple of days I've noticed that there has been an update to profile view. You click on somebody's profile and if they are online, under current activity it shows you EXACTLY what they are looking at!!

Is anybody else creeped out about this, and why was this change brought on?

Thanks.
I have tried to figure out what you are referring too? But alas, I cannot figure it out?

Click on my avatar, look at current activity, and it will show that I'm looking at this thread

I don't see it.

And to be honest, I am not sure what would be creepy about it if it were there.

I'm using my phone, but not the mobile site, and I just don't see "current activity."
On which portion of the screen is it found?

I see last activity which shows the last time you were on. I think that might change as you click around.

I looked, and can't find it.. I used to be on another web forum, similar design setup, where that feature was available.. I remember someone telling me what thread I was viewing, I was shocked.. I was told how to do it there, but I don't see anything here!
On my end it only shows this:
  • Last Activity: Today 08:55 PM
  • Join Date: 08-01-2015
  • Referrals: 4

From the screen shot, that's very prominent. And I suppose you are on a computer vs. cellphone. With my cellphone it shows:

"Last Activity: Today 05:38 AM" in smallish font.

Curious, the result, if in invisible mode.
User Control Panel, Edit Options, check Invisible Mode near top, Save (all the way near bottom). Others wouldn't see it at that point, anyway.
But, I don't know the point of current view being available for all to see. That's odd, alright.

It's probably only showing that to you like infractions only show to you.
Says current activity and time to me.

Well, are you a mod in one the area forums?
Access to that info is sometimes given to the members that have permissions to change posts....aka MOD.

Can you see that same info on other member's profile's or just your own? My guess is that if you are not a Mod, that somehow your board permissions have gotten messed up and you are seeing more than you should.
Where forum Mod on this question?
