It suggests that there is a tacit dishonesty in the disclosure request. It would have been so much cleaner to have made an opt out visible and easier to access. <br /><br />We should not have to go to all sorts of lengths to find an opt out. This avenue is the easy way to collect information 'voluntarily', there are other avenues that would not take much effort. Others do not seem to have any trouble obtaining cell phone numbers from relatively legitimate and illegitimate sourcesZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-10771422430097196772011-08-28T12:58:53.498+01:002011-08-28T12:58:53.498+01:00Hi Keiko,

Changing email addresses because of the abuse of others is a nuisance.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-82588507108416540682011-08-26T07:56:27.794+01:002011-08-26T07:56:27.794+01:00Whatever Google and Facebook do is surely to furth...Whatever Google and Facebook do is surely to further their own interest. In this instance I imagine they are coming under pressure from the British Government (Home Secretary Theresa May) to hand over information to the police in case of any future riot organised by social media. So they have decided, I guess, to collect information "voluntarily" as a method of staving off worse interference.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-17059820487841190702011-08-26T07:43:25.570+01:002011-08-26T07:43:25.570+01:00ZACL,

So, if another one goes bad, I will just cancel it, and make a new one. It's better than giving out a phone number and restore the affected account. In the meantime, I enjoy using my current email account, but I won't depend my life on it.keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.com
