> I don't know that there's any way to actually prevent someone from doing that, other than to simply not participate in anything. I suppose that it doesn't matter whether it's online or IRL, if someone wants to invest the energy into collecting information about others, they can do it within the limits of the law.
What are you saying Phillipa did? I thought the topic of conversation was items sent to Phillipa by email or posted publicly on the board. Are you accusing Phillipa of searching the internet for information on others? I don't see anyplace on board where that is being said. Is someone spreading gossip off board about Phillipa?
> That said, it would feel very creepy to me to find out someone is keeping a file and collecting information about me.
I keep photos sent to me by email, and emails sent to me. I also might bookmark items on occasion, if Babblers have posted links to them. I may even arrange those photos, emails, and links into folders. I like a tidy computer. I routinely keep things friends send me because I care about them. I'm sorry you find my behavior creepy.
