--- Comment #42 from Elvey <[email protected]> --- Jack: Whatever. We need to stop violating the privacy policy. From the policy: "we consider at least the following to be “personal information” if it is otherwise nonpublic and can be used to identify you: at least (a) your real name ... IP address .... (c) [your IP address] when associated with your user account Information available through public logs will not include personal information about you. We keep IP addresses confidential, except as provided in this Policy. " An example and legal analysis of the legal quagmire violating one's privacy policy gets one into: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/12/judge-oks-20-million-privacy-deal-for-facebooks-sponsored-stories/ http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=1f6ea195-aded-4199-8ada-91325aba8d0c We're giving users of that IP address the identity of other users of that IP address. I think that's a Privacy Policy violation because we don't need to do that in order for it to be possible for admins to decide whether or not to lift an autoblock. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
