we don't associate data with individual, we associate data with
pseudonym.
And? People use the same pseudonym on more than one site just as they
use the same password on more than one site. Besides some people even
enter their real name.
this is their problem not ours. How do you know this is their real name?
Anything that looks like a name can be as "nicky" as any random list of
letters
So if they are stupid or not sophisticated enough to hide behind
anonymity then tough we'll exploit their personal data. Any thing they
give away is fair game. Sound like the justification of hackers and
phishers.
No ethics here then.
