Hello,
I think is NOT legal this fact:
Germany’s Largest Bitcoin Exchange Gave Police User Details Without Court Order.
My think:
The protection of our unscrupulous customers and their bitcoins is more important to us than the protection of the data of offenders.
and, Another interesseting thing:
We only issue data from customers to investigating authorities if they can inquire in writing in specific cases and can demonstrate a legitimate interest in specific criminal offenses. This has always been the case from our point of view.
Its really shameful thing for the exchange site to have carried out such activity without the court order then what they are saying is that if any other person other than the Police put pressure on them then they will cave in? And not just one case but several, its should not be heard of, and I think they should be sued and others should also stop using their services for privacy sake.
Someone write this about this... problem.
In my personal opinion, it is not a problem. If the police strongly suspects a specific criminal activity and the terms of service allow sharing of some information, then I don't see why it should not be done.
Those exchanges are committed to protecting our privacy, not the secrecy of a couple of criminals.
Unless, of course, you prefer trading your bitcoins on an exchange that may go down tomorrow... With your money.
i DONT agree, It is a violation of the users right to privacy. This right is not absolute and has to be weighted against the public interest to fight drugs and other rights. The weighting is the job of a judge, not the police or bitcoin.de
Remember we have fight too much for the user privacy, if bitcoin.de do this, BOICOTT!
No more word...
