@gortok @mikekotsch @jacksonh @lukew PII only makes sense when you're selling something, and then you shouldn't be disseminating it.
@RichFelker that's an extremely broad statement. I work in a space where PII is more user friendly but COPPA is prohibitively broad.
@RichFelker for instance: using a user's own Phone book on iPhone to display friendly names (not storing them in app) can run afoul of law.
@RichFelker and that's coming directly from a lawyer who is an expert in COPPA.
@RichFelker so, we have to make things less user friendly even though we have no intention of ever collecting this data.
@gortok Even if you have no intention of collecting it now, there's no guarantee that whoever acquires you won't... Access to PII is a bug.
@RichFelker I'll blog about it; you speak in absolutes without understanding the context or use case. That's Twitter.
@gortok I agree Twitter is a poor medium for this discussion.
