Show HN: Exorbitant Email Addresses
The main criticism was against the terms. I checked the terms of GMail, FB, and so on and see they all include provisions for inspecting all data in the system to comply with the law, and for the operation of the service. It's actually pretty normal, and illegal to not check if content complies with the law, just as I thought.
Also, as the purchase is so huge, verifying identity is part of KYC AML regs. So again, it seems this anon user's hysterical name calling was a high pitched shriek that the tribe responded to without thinking, but actually goes against the law, while pretending to be for it.
How does this sort of counterfactual, abusive comment get through the HN hivemind / filters, again?
Anyway, reposting now to get some love and affection for this beauty of an idea.
