Such tactics are committing unethical, illegal and
They say (generically) that "The user is not proficient enough in technology to know if the cookie is good or bad, or how it works," and since I am a user I am not proficient? I have 20 years experience with this stuff, hell I used a modified teletype machine to get email and Usenet in the mid '80s. I've been around the net since well before we had web browsers and the HTTP protocol. And they say that because I delete cookies I am dumb and not proficient?
You delete files - the reason is irrelevant - they a on your computer , that is all that matters. A third party comes along and “undeletes” a file that you deleted? That is patently unauthorized access.
I publicly charge that:
* and any person, company or entity who creates, publishes, and uses such tactics are committing unethical, illegal and tortuous acts.
* such remote undeletion (software) violates the following (inclusive but not limited to):
- 18 U.S.C. 1029, Unauthorized network access.
- 18 U.S.C. 1030, Computer Fraud
- 18 U.S.C. 2701, et.seq, Violations of Electronic Communications Act |
