That point is not lost on me, but that's not the issue I was rebutting. That's not why Girls Around Me was pulled. That's not the source of fear that all the negative press was playing on. If anything, it's yet another sideshow that distracts from the greater issue. The Girls Around Me blow-up wasn't subtle. It was very straight forward, and blown out of proportion, IMO. It won't do anything to draw attention to the far more subtle issues of implicitly wide-open online privacy standards.
