WTF is even the point of the email if there's NO USEFUL INFORMATION IN IT?!
It's annoying, but from a data security point of view it makes sense, personal information like that is more secure behind the login on their website than in an e-mail in plain text.
When it's billing data I can see it, but if it's a notification that someone sent you a message, you know there's no reason they can't include the message text. They just want your engagement (looking at you, LinkedIn).
No, you're absolutely right. Hiding a message behind a login is essentially linkedin style click baiting.
That should be my choice, not theirs. I should at least be able to opt into having useful information directly in the email!
I agree with you, but it's easier for those companies to just do one option, rather than offer user/customer choices which would create additional effort both technical on the backend and legally.
