Let's not require CU in such cases. As a former CU and steward, I can say that CU actions are used just in the most extreme situations, when they are really needed, as they by default violate user's (and lilely users') privacy.
While it is likely we could enforce this, it would also prolong the decision in the cases for which CU action will prove to be unnecessary (99.99% of them). At the other side, it is possible even to create a program which would gather public data and give us more information for the final decision. Note, also, that MF-Warburg used public information before concluding that CU action is necessary. On Apr 3, 2017 9:34 PM, "Satdeep Gill" <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree with Antony.
