Description

I can't change my username nor can I remove my profile page from search engines.

Is everyone will be able to see that a certain username created a Keybase account, forever?

Are there no remedies to this?

I find this extemely absurd.

Please respond.

Note: If what I'm asking is not possible, you should at least let the users know of this fact. Cause this is absolutely not cool.
