Who knows maybe right now they have people watching this thread and looking up our IP's, Mac address, username and emails.
:smokin:
While they might do that (and I'm sure they have at least considered it) actually USING any of that information in a way that would harm other businesses would be illegal.
Most of what we on BHW do is not actually illegal (even spamming is not illegal in many coutries, the US is way stricter than just about anywhere in the world. Most of the world - as an individual, you can do pretty much what the hell you like - legally. (not ETHICAL, not MORAL - but yes - LEGAL) there is a big difference.
However if Google use private information for their own advantage. and block LEGAL activities , then they could be right royally fucked.
Imagine a class action lawsuit for unlimited loss of earnings from 2000+ BHW members (at least those from outside the draconian US internet area)
Their name would be tarnished, and their bank balanced lightened.
It's why, when I see grade A &ssholes on this site look to cross the boundary into damn right illegal activites aimed at f%cking up the lives of private citizens that my blood boils. (essp when the tw&ts think they have found some magical loophole that makes it legal)
That sort of stuff IS being watched by google, and international fed agencies to name a few.
That's the sort of stuff that could see entire sites like this flushed down the shitter.
Nuff said.
