Because I don't have all the facts and I can't put the genie back in the bottle.

I think there needs to be a balance between "if you really want to research this alleged invasion of privacy then you should look here" and "that guy is bad, everybody go harass him". I haven't seen the logs and I haven't read the company's website in detail, so I'm not going to point the finger at someone for what could be a misunderstanding.

Maybe the website does point out this behavior. Maybe it's a badly configured script. Maybe it's as bad as described. I certainly don't know and I'd rather not join an internet mob until I've done my due diligence.

This is an amazing way to express an extremely important concept, one that unfortunately doesn't have enough representation on the internet. Kudos.

Agreed. I do it all the time; especially with previous employers, and their competitors.
