After all, impersonation done by people is nothing new, this technology just makes it easier.
- John_KZ 8y ago>Wouldn't that just classify as fraud? 20 years ago, much of the ToS you blindly accept on many websites, would land the developers and company management in jail. At least in my country. That is for counts of misuse of personal information, defrauding the customer and potentially espionage. Also if they sold physical devices, lying about the function of the buttons, installing erasure buttons that don't erase anything etc, would also cause a class-action lawsuit and the district attorney to press charges for fraud. I can totally see companies, especially the ones that don't care much about keeping a good face, like dept collection services, using this kind of service in extremely unethical ways while retaining plausible deniability in court.
- icebraining 8y agoIf companies are evading existing laws, what makes you think more laws will help?
