This seems like a pretty clear-cut violation of their privacy policy. As Mr. Volokh has noted they have promised in their privacy policy to not share this information with third parties: "We will not share individual user information with third parties unless the user has specifically approved the release of that information. " Further, they have even explicitly stated that they cannot retroactively change the privacy policy to affect old comments: "Of course, our use of information gathered while the current policy is in effect will always be consistent with the current policy, even if we change that policy later." Given that, I don't see how this isn't a violation of their privacy policy. The FTC suggests that they are willing to enforce companies that mis-use personal information [1]. Given all of this, I highly encourage anyone who has posted anonymously on the MT Standard to report them to the FTC using the following form: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/Company#crnt https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/Company#crnt [1] https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/media-resources/protecting-consumer-privacy/enforcing-privacy-promises https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/media-resources/protecting-c...
