I wouldn’t. That line doesn’t exist, at least in the laws of the legal system. It might cross your own moral boundary, but that’s intrinsic to you and subjective at best.

I’m not defending them as a company. I do think the rest of the media is just as horrible and would seize a similar opportunity if given the chance.

We are in dire need of regulation here.

In many cases internet regulation, especially the sort that would curb data misuse, is a scarier line to cross.

Who cares? It is well known that the legal system trails technology by at least a decade. Therefore, it should be clear that we are discussing a line of an ethical nature, not a legal one.
