After a request by one of our users, I’ve added Reunion.com to the Abusive Hosts Blocking List for spamming people’s contacts through social networking sites like Facebook. Laura did a pretty good post on her blog about the issue….

b) these sites should be added to the same lists as malware and phishing sites as in essence they are ‘grooming’ users for later abuse by phising sites by encouraging them to ’share’ their authentication

c) sites like yahoo gmail hotmail and aol should for the protection of their users be activly blocking logins from their ip-space and/or tracking what id’s attempt to so they can e-mail reprimand them for abusing their TOS by giving out their passwords

d) many sites now abuse this lax user generation to actually harvest login details to jabber/messenger/yahoo-im spam their contacts from their trusted contact’s id while the trusted contact is offline.
{also the traditional spamming them via the contacts webmail}

e) the trusted sites that do abide by their privacy policies and never send the invites {while searching their internal userlists only} are the guilty ones as they are the ones blurring the lines and making people willing to give tothers MY EMAIL, without MY permission as they know that I will never find out.

people need to respect their friends property and privacy
the same way as they do when a mutual friend asks for anothers phone number, most of us have the respect to ask before handing it on to a mutual contact, so why now are we allowing a generation to learn that its kosher to give their friends e-mail’s to random third parties
