All they're asking for is name, number, meatspace and email addresses. Presumably, it's so some guy named "John Smith" doesn't prevent them from collecting information on the thousands of other J.S.'s out there.
Not saying I feel comfortable filling out the form myself, but still. It's silly to expect that just a name or email tells them everything about you.
- spaznode 12y agoThat's the point, both of them in fact. It's likely that to error on side if caution they rarely in fact do find and purge all your associated "identities" / records.. So why are they even bothering? Especially since they could collect much less while greatly increasing safe purge of your records if they wanted to. Targeting people for advertising is not a cursory half assed random thing to advertisers. It's their bread and butter. Why is this link even on hn?
