Add meta tags to member profile pages to prevent search engine indexing
Major search engines are indexing the Member Profile pages on MeetUp. This is a privacy and security issue because even non-members can discover a person is on MeetUp and find out what groups they belong to. Making it very easy to find when and where they will be some place and potentially follow them home. It's fairly simple to add meta tags to the member profile pages so that search engines skip these pages. Most major search engines like Google respect these meta tags. Search engines will still index MeetUp activities and groups to promote the activities, but member privacy is better protected.

Cyber stalking is an issue with the way the system is currently set up. Alarming amounts of information can be easily found on members. It is a deterrent to posting and sharing on groups.
