I really wonder about your answer. Sounds like you are "only" vegan but not animal right activist. Cause for animal rights we fight also for human rights. Thats clear and even for the nature that includes that we use product which are fair trade and biological. That they are not from countrys which abuse people. AND we also fight aginst the data montoring and for our privacy setting. Vegan is a polical thing, some people also do that just because they found it healthy or cool but thats not really vegan.

To consult s.o. because he gives important information and don't think at himself (the contrary of what you do)is so unbelievably - I can't be an adult who act like that and moreless a vegan.

I'm grateful for the information!

I agree with Tina, too often animal rights activists and vegan advocates forget the human principle. I myself have forgotten this principle at times. To call someone a name is cruel behaviour, that being said, I have had my share of being mean to others. Lets try to keep positive, stay abreast of what is going on in the world and be unified in change.

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, I read it a little late. Relevant or not to veganism, it is relevant to CS, and I appreciate you getting the information out as much as possible. It's important information.

I've read this too late too, what happens now?

CS has now the rights of all the content you ever uploaded, including texts, user behavior and pictures. Additional they are allowed to sell this data if CS is selled to another company.

This is just what happens in two sentences, of course it's much more complex.

It is very VERY bad, the highest bidder always get the data and because they pay most screw it for every 1/100th of a cent, plus in the end the government either buys or acquires it all too for secret service and other departments.

If staying here suggest change photo so cant identify and put some slightly incorrect data, BETTER still close account and open up new one with new slightly wonky info and picture:).

IS A TRICKY ONE!!!!!

It makes me wonder if one of the founders of Be Welcome is spreading this "information."

I don't think any of this is true. I'm surprised no one in the thread has even questioned it. Even if CS changes its terms of use, they're not going to take your picture and doctor it up and stick it on a porn site. That seems like a paranoid fantasy.
