Thanks.

Re internet shitty stuff: yeah, that just happened. >.<

Commented elsewhere about this, so copy/pasta here:

I was reading a book the other day (Schneier's Data and Goliath, which I highly recommend although the subject material is likely ragemaking, as it's all about privacy and data control) - and one of the things that stuck with me most was, we've had this problem before.

The technological means to invade privacy have always preceded reasonable limitations on their use.

And generally, we figure it out pretty quick, through the efforts of people who get ticked off about crap like this.
