    Some Twitter Privacy Drama

    Gone in 140 characters - Privacy issues raised as Twitter employee hands over personal details of @Skype registrant to Skype http://uk.techcrunch.com/2009/04/07/...rant-to-skype/

    Privacy and Social Media/Networking haven't exactly been bosom buddies during the past 2 years. Expect more hiccups down the road.

      Growing pains for any social networking/social media site. Not as bad as the whole FB TOS fiasco.

          Your name and email address is private information?

              Funny stuff from Skype "In which case, you’re violating our Terms of Service by squatting on the user name."

              Squatting on the username... hehe... just pissin all over it, or pushing porn from it maybe?

                  it is kind of bullshit of them to handle it that way though

                  how can they judge who owns the name on such a casual basis?

                  If I had the twitter "BritneySpears", would they just give it to the famous Britney Spears including my email and details, without 100% performing due diligence to ensure that my name wasn't also Britney Spears? and without giving me any right to defence?

                  should they give @porn to the porn.com people without any thought?

                  how about where 4 different people own a domain prefix, one with .com, one .net, .org, .info etc..... if the .com guy contacts twitter will they just give him the name?

                      that is extreme bullshit though for them to hand over any of her info, email or otherwise, the communication should be handled internally
