Please remove all of these various invasions of privacy publishing multiple instances of personal information, profiles, identifying information, images and phone numbers.

Remove this identifying information immediately from this public forum.
These multiple and egregious offenses are illegal under current internet privacy law. These actions are of an endangering and threatening nature.
Remove this identifying information immediately from this public forum.

"Anonymity should not be considered a secure shield because, ultimately, any data may be intercepted. Vicarious liability, even without knowledge, may result when either the web page designer or the ISP (1) has the right and ability to control the infringer's acts and (2) receives a direct financial benefit from the infringement."

Hello Graham,

From your message:
... "and (2) receives a direct financial benefit from the infringement."

This clearly does not apply to HDD Guru forum. And, besides, all that
data was copied by the forum member from open public resources.

Either remove the material or face swift legal and criminal action against yourself and the individual who posted the material.

Graham,

You are very welcome to proceed. Please keep us informed.

In the meantime, I will suggest moderators of HDD Guru to post this
conversation for a public review.

Instead of removing a post containing several invasions of privacy in the form of
a matrix of information intended to discredit and identify an individual and advertise the personal opinions of one of your registered users, you are actually seeking to
contribute to further violations and encourage publicity of privacy violations
within the forum of this website for the purposes of intimidation and defamation?

Your noncompliance with privacy concerns reflects a wider failure of webmasters to protect the privacy rights of visitors.

Your 'moderators' are not licensed to troll about investigating, defaming and accusing hundreds of technicians, websites and companies and organizations they know the least bit about, publishing sensitive information and commenting for the purpose of causing loss of property or business in a public forum.

I don't need to pursue legal or criminal action, I will merely publish the details of these transgressions on relevant or competing websites and file complaints wherever applicable in public forums that will appear in search results.

Oh . . . if only the admin had just removed the post as I had requested . . .
