Description

I just edited my site map post on the CUNY Commons Redesign 2015 site (which is a site attached to a hidden group) a few minutes ago and it is appearing on the homepage even when I'm not logged in. See screenshot attached for example. My text is short enough that it's all showing on the homepage, and the PDF link is also active without login.

Related: I created a hidden group a couple weeks ago and got a Google Alert about it, in connection with my name later that day. The creation of the site also appears in my public profile activity (see attached). During testing, one of the users also mentioned that she had some panicked moments after she created a private blog but then found that it was appearing in a few different feed areas (even though no one could access it without a password, they didn't like that the public knew it existed).

Seems like there's a bug in the actions that are correlated with activity on hidden groups and private sites. Or I'm misunderstanding the implications of hiding a site or creating a private blog, and so are our users.
