Hey,

I rarely ever post, I've been reading the boards for a few years, I came across this and thought it would be good to share with everyone. Take it for what it's worth.

Here is the article:

PayPal = SpyPal


Submitted by: "Anonymous." There are reports that eBay, which now owns PayPal, making the combined firm the largest online financial intermediary, considers your purchases, home address, and credit data an open book. Call it SpyPal. Forget about privacy policies. Forget about court orders. Forget about "unreasonable searches and seizures." This is the new Amerika. Are you a law enforcement type with questions for some SpyPal customer? No problem, SpyPal will field your questions through its customer support staff. The target will never know he is being questioned by law enforcement. Are you a national security spook constructing a database of dissidents and political targets? No problem, SpyPal will cross-reference credit card data with home addresses and online video purchases. You need nothing more than a fax to our office for a comprehensive list of all customers who purchased 9-11 cover-up videos through PayPal.

Mindful of these immoral cave-ins to what passes for law enforcement these days, many video producers, book sellers, and magazine editors are considering the Digital Monetary Trust as an alternative mechanism for fee collection. This service provides guaranteed anonymity. Not even DMT staff can decipher the encrypted financial transactions. In days of Thought Crime, DMT is a wise move for everyone on the web.

A few months ago E-Bay stated that is was their policy to share all information with law enforcement. All they need to do is fax a request with letterhead and they will reply with all information.

Since PayPal has been purchased by E-Bay the rules now apply. There is an ongoing argument that putting this disclosure into the fine print doesn’t give the consumer a chance to realize he is waiving all of his rights to privacy.

Here is an example. If Joe Blow who is married with 3 kids is a closet homosexual. He buys thing on E-Bay because it’s discrete. Something happens locally and for whatever reason the police ask E-Bay his buying habits. Who knows, maybe he was busted with gear and had an E-Bay auction print out in his car when he was popped. Now E-Bay discloses this information and everyone now knows that he is really gay. Including his family. Is this an invasion of privacy? I think YES!

What I am trying to say is that you can not agree to something or waive rights with the click of a button. Eventually they will get sued.
