"We're going to start charging you to grab up your PII unless you explicitly tell us to stop. YOU'RE WELCOME!" sounds like it ought to be illegal somewhere the New Relic developers have to worry about the laws of.
I wonder what they'd do if someone rigged their install to feed their servers junk information. Is that possible? I honestly don't know how the New Relic stuff works.
- nickstinemates 5y agoYou can feed their servers as much arbitrary shit as you want - you'll just end up paying for it.
- jacquesm 5y agoIt is illegal. The question is who will be liable, NR or the customer, at first glance it probably will be the customer even though NR is the one causing the violation. Regardless, this kind of move should be punished by customers cancelling en masse.

I'd like to think folks would be willing to pay to do it, but unless a large number of people do they probably wouldn't care. Companies who are collecting data for profit don't really care how accurate any of it is. As long as it looks real enough they can still sell it to data brokers (oh sorry, I mean the "third-party service providers that support our business and operations"). If it doesn't look real enough it's probably easy to filter out.
