Different people have different philosophies. Some people have stopped using FB and G+ because they know their actions will be monitored. I choose to share these links because I don't want to censor myself out of fear of surveillance. Both approaches are totally valid, and everyone can choose to share on social media, or not.

And the site uses https://github.com/tfrce/share-server so no user information/IP address/browser headers are shared with any third parties unless you click the buttons.

There's also "two clicks for better privacy" like Heise.de started and that Scheiner also uses on his blog. http://www.heise.de/extras/socialshareprivacy/ & https://github.com/panzi/SocialSharePrivacy

I'll take having a targeted ad for Sony cameras follow me from site to site over being a drone target.
EDIT: Mass surveillance by any government is bad. Surveillance by NSA or GCHQ is bad. But the abuse of privacy coming from spammers and marketers and the walled garden of whatever social network are all far more harmful to the Internet than whatever GCHQ or NSA are doing.
