Fetlife caretaker FAIL. This lady could see that I was being harassed and not only failed to help me, but suspended my fetlife account when I screencapped the abusive crap I was being messaged with to show people, and then issued fake copyright violation notices to get the evidence removed from being hosted. Fetlife do not care if you get abused, they do care to make sure no-one knows about it. I even sent FetLife an application to become a Caretaker touting how familiar I was with the process of DMCA notice and counter-notice which I credit them for forcing my hand to educate myself about.
But this report is interesting. Report the site admins. This blog is my job. If it moves you, please help me keep doing this Work by sharing some of your food , shelter , or money. Thank you! The article also has a brief summary of some history only long-time readers of mine are likely to remember:.
The proxy maymay created in the summer of accessed FetLife and made the profiles of public individuals in the BDSM community available to people outside the network.
Because this was an activism project, maymay widely publicized what they were doing; unfortunately, FetLife refused to face the underlying issue, choosing instead to launch a campaign accusing maymay of hacking the site and endangering its users.
By the way, the PHP proxy still works. One of the most contested features of the Predator Alert Tools is that the report forms are unmoderated. This means anyone can add any information they want to the databases without oversight. But the unmoderated nature of Predator Alert Tool databases is intentional, and definitely a feature , not a bug.
