Spys Among Us

Privacy… think you have it on Second Life? Think again….
I would like to point you to this:
“Disclosure
Residents are entitled to a reasonable level of privacy with regard to their Second Life experience. Sharing personal information about a fellow Resident –including gender, religion, age, marital status, race, sexual preference, and real-world location beyond what is provided by the Resident in the First Life page of their Resident profile is a violation of that Resident’s privacy. Remotely monitoring conversations, posting conversation logs, or sharing conversation logs without consent are all prohibited in Second Life and on the Second Life Forums.”——– Second Life Community Standards Item Number 4.
As you can clearly see, giving an item with a spy script in it masked as a bling script or what ever is clearly against the rules. This also applies to an item left laying around on property to do the same thing.
It was recently discovered that a person I know pretty well has been doing this very thing… monitoring where we go, who we are with, who we are talking to, what we are saying… Load of crap in my opinion. As my almost 4 year old niece, Tara would say, “I am SHOCKED and APPLED!” (It saddens me that even a 4 year old has the sense to not spy and eaves drop when people in their 30s don’t.)
Why is it being done? Afraid they are missing something? Afraid they are being talked about behind their back?
It doesn’t matter the why, what matters is that there is a clear invasion of privacy going on. On doing a search for spy scripts and items to spy on people, there are MANY out there. Why? Who cares what people are doing when you aren’t around or people you don’t even know… If that kind of thing is what you have been reduced to, BACK SLOWLY AWAY FROM YOUR COMPUTER NOW!! GO OUTSIDE AND GET A LIFE!!

i agree with you totally, if i find out people are spying on me i take it as proof of nefarious intent and would take action against that.

I think this particular group is going to handle it internally. If it would be anyone else, I think yes, they would be hitting up the Gods @ Linden Labs.
