Using a tag on a post will index it for global tag search and for tag completion, visible to any user. It seems that this applies even to posts on private pages.* Since tags can be arbitrarily long and may be used for tumblr-style commentary, this has the unwanted side-effect of leaking potentially private information in full sentences to any user, simply by chance of them typing a tag into the post compose box that has the same prefix.

*I briefly checked whether un-/following the private page affects this. After I unfollowed the private page, the unique tag was still listed for tag completion in the post compose box, so I assume this behavior is global.

chosigned. dont really like my private tags showing up globally, they use a fairly notable character name and it sheds some weird light when you go to search said character

this happened to me just now! neither deleting the original post or removing the original tags prevents them from being suggested either. really not comfortable with tags from my locked page forever being suggested to others, or others' private tags being shown to me, so hoping this gets fixed.

 Cosigning. Via a tag search I was shown a tag that was clearly...... well. gossipmongering about someone, but I nor others I know can see the post. Seems in poor taste to air dirty laundry!
