Personally I'm not a big fan of tapping into user's instant messages. I'd hope that those considering using such a module would respect their users' expectation of privacy. However if you do choose to use such a module, it may be beneficial to make sure you will be operating within any wiretapping laws that may apply before doing so.
I'm hopeful that OpenSimulator can flourish as a platform where users' rights are respected. On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 4:39 PM, Justin Clark-Casey <[email protected] > wrote: > Hi folks.
