In a world where secrets come and go faster than you can say ‘oops,’ Automattic is taking a page out of the spy novel handbook and using watermarks to keep the leaky boats afloat. Yes, you heard me right! The masterminds behind WordPress.com are loading up their internal communications platform, P2, with what they call ‘nearly invisible’ watermarks.
Why, you ask? Well, it turns out these not-so-sneaky little patterns are there to make sure that if a screenshot takes a walk into the wild world of social media, they can trace it back to the person responsible. Think of it like detective work but without the trench coat and magnifying glass. Just zoom in and change the background—voilà, you’ve spotted the rogue employee!
After the recent layoffs, it seems Automattic wants to dot their i’s and cross their t’s, ensuring that internal chatter doesn’t spill like a broken piñata at a birthday party. But here’s the spicy take: can you really keep a lid on leaks, or will this just inspire workers to unleash their inner James Bond and figure out how to outsmart the system?
It’s like trying to keep a secret in a room full of chatty toddlers—good luck with that! So, with all the tech-savvy precautions in place, will it really help? Or will it just add to the intrigue? Either way, Automattic sure knows how to keep things interesting, don’t they?
