Ill Elaborate....

Everyone knows the prime ministers address right??

If I post on a forum........ "The prime minister lives at 10 Downing Street, London SW1A 2AA " Then that's just a fact, the info is already on the internet.......

But if I post..... " Everyone should parcel up dog sh*t and post to the prime minister at 10 Downing St ............." Then that would be seen as illegal, its not the disclosure of the address but the act being incited by providing it....


DISCLAIMER - THE ABOVE IS ONLY USED AS AN EXAMPLE ONLY, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAVID CAMERON GETTING 2LB OF GERMAN SHEPHERD POO THROUGH HIS LETTERBOX....... DONT DO IT.

That would be a threat, the information provided is immaterial.

You could take someone to the small claims court and claim harrasment or something similar, but it's not illegal to post address information online. In the same way it's not illegal to post a picture of someone online. Most website owners would remove information if asked because most are gutless, but there's nothing illegal about it.

And I can't believe you put a disclaimer on that. Couldn't be lamer if you tried.

Damn, I'd already parcelled it up and put it in the letter box before I got to the end.

Spot on it goes under harrassment.
All being sorted now.so thankyou to the ones who have been helpfull.

Was supposed to be funny..... You had a sense of humour failure?


LOL

dont think it was ever there, always has to put a downer on it

Posting dog poo to No. 10 is valid depending on who's in charge at the time as far as I can see. If the PM is doing a sh*t job-he deserves sh*t from us!!

Back on topic please.

TR your address and phone number and pics of inside of your house are on the net allready, you put them there, so it is freely available to any one that wants it.
You can not put this info on net then complain about it.

Thats because they have the permission to do so by me.
Its getting removed.
what about mobile numbers?
or a member of the public giving out emails without permission.
Anyway as i said, i have this being sorted out very carefully!
i did have my emails hacked and i sorted that out quick.
Virgin media is very good when it comes to internet advice!

The data protection act covers how companies that hold your information do so on your behalf.

There's nothing I could post about you or you could post about me that falls under that act. It's perfectly legal, if annoying. Emails and phone numbers are not any sort of privleged or private information, they can be found freely online.

you'd be surprised what information people put on the internet about themselves by THEM as they post drivel, its all footprints!!

Thanks for this information and sensible response.
Anyway its being all sorted now thanks.
