		<description>I urge you all to get a huge laugh and come look at my stats. You&#039;ll find that my &quot;friends&quot; consist of my arch-enemies Aimee Weber and Cristiano Midnight, merely because they came to argue with me for an hour at a public discussion. My &quot;friends&quot; are merely tenants or completely unknown bystanders who happened to just be standing near me while I was AFK and didn&#039;t notice about them or vise versa. None of it has any meaning, in the individual case.

But it&#039;s in the aggregate that these things because horribly intrusive. It&#039;s not that you can grab so much individual personal data, it&#039;s that in tanden with everything else you&#039;ve grabbed, you can tell a lot about a person.

Complete strangers to me, who didn&#039;t opt into this system, are now findable in Google has having a rental in SL, and having a rental near other names. Perhaps this list now tells something about the company they keep they&#039;d prefer not to have on the Internet. Why are their movements as avatars suddenly exposed to public discussion, merely for having come into my range because I wear this watch?

I could take it off, but now I have no way of erasing anything on that page. The page isn&#039;t under my control, it&#039;s under the scrapers&#039; control.

He can blendomatic this stuff forever and get all kinds of valueable commercial data:

o where do people shop
o who they congregate with
o which people have compelling events, as shown by their audiences trailing along them on stats
o who does what where for an hour or more
o what sims are authentically high-traffic and not fake-high traffic. Fake high-traffic means random people just dancing or campign. Real high-traffic means various people spend an hour even if no camp chairs are present to lure them.
o where do people live
o mobile griefers

It won&#039;t be long before he figures out he can sell this information to people trying to figure out where to rent in malls or how to get traffic to their venues.

		<description>I appear on that list, simply by having been near someone wearing this device.

My information is made available on a third party website without my consent, and I&#039;m expected to sit back and be happy about it?  No way.
