What percentage of ebay visitors even know what portscanning is? How can somebody consent to something they aren't aware of, don't anticipate, and certainly don't even understand? Your notion of "consent" is an utter joke.
- jfoster 6y agoThey might not know what port scanning is, but can they agree to "anti-fraud measures?"
- catalogia 6y agoMaybe they might agree to such anti-fraud measures, but I don't think they have. I don't consider 'ignoring the terms of use buried at the bottom of the page or in small print' a legitimate form of indicated consent.
- jfoster 6y agoAgree with you that simply putting something in the terms of use doesn't necessarily indicate agreement. If they're only doing it to signed in users, then presumably they had the terms put in front of them at some point, but I think your objection is still fair in any case. To what extent do they need consent to port scan, though? They're not intending to do anything malicious, and in fact (assuming you are the owner of the account that's signed in) they're doing it partly to benefit you. Is there a law against port scanning? Does it affect users in any way?
