Hello, I am new to WordPress and BuddyPress and worried about safety, then wanted to know if it is common to find plugins that share data / stealing / etc, and how to find it. In particular was doubt in a plugin, BuddyPress Follow (https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-followers/)

I am the author of the BuddyPress Follow plugin. I can assure you that there is no tracking or data stealing in the code.

Sorry, I’m very concerned about security even seen on a topic people talking about something related to security rtMedia Plugin, and also I did not know what they meant, taking advantage of the topic you know something about it? (Sorry for my English)

BuddyPress Follow is one of the best. No need to worry about security or performance when using that plugin; @r-a-y will have your back 🙂

In this case, I installed rtMedia, but already uninstalled it, it all was taken? (Sorry about that, they must be finding me crazy hahahaha)
