    That cannot be legal. Sounds more like the Mafia tbh. Who or what gives the BSA legal power to do any of that?

    But that's just in theory. In practice, Facebook is a POS website, and if you use it you're probably not too bright and if you're posting all your personal info online, then this isn't high up on the list of your privacy concerns.

    I'm saddened to hear you say that. My facebook profile is under the pseudonym GameboyRMH. I though you totally supported my efforts at spreading your legendary sexual and binge drinking conquests online for the world at large. If that is indeed the case, I shall be happy to stop doing so once the appropriate discontinuation fee is paid in full. Oh, should I stop buying sex toys on amazon i your name aswell?
