It's against ToS for your profile to include other means to contact you, like other online profiles. That's my guess.

Because that's against of ToS. Impersonating someone.

except it's a violation of the TOS they agree to. When someone shows up that doesn't match the profile it's a big issue.

Why would that be against the TOS?

Because it’s against ToS of those services

Might be a violation of ToS

ibaikov | karma 167 | avg karma 2.78 · | 2021-08-05 09:38:01

But this is against TOS, isn't it?

precompute | karma 913 | avg karma 2.12 · | 2024-05-28 08:07:24

It's a privacy violation regardless of the ToS.

eqtn | karma 212 | avg karma 1.78 · | 2020-08-14 07:40:51+00:00

That is against TOS.

While I realize that an TOS is always subject to change, I still think it's a low blow to pull something like that. They intended it to be a one-way conversation as well. We had no way to respond.

Facebook is notorious for doing this too.

Isn't that in itself against the TOS?

notresidenter | karma 268 | avg karma 4.25 · | 2024-03-11 15:07:23

This is against the ToS.

nashashmi | karma 2735 | avg karma 1.04 · | 2023-07-12 15:35:35

I am guessing that the more attention you got, the more scrutiny your profile received. And thus someone reported you for violating the TOS. That someone may be a competitor??

Red_Leaves_Flyy | karma 2169 | avg karma 1.54 · | 2020-10-22 11:20:49+00:00

Pretty sure that's against tos..

blaser-waffle | karma 2049 | avg karma 1.08 · | 2020-05-08 13:20:40+00:00

Because they can nail you on a TOS violation.

joshfraser | karma 10271 | avg karma 8.43 · | 2011-08-03 01:20:40

This is definitely against TOS.

spoiler | karma 2481 | avg karma 2.3 · | 2023-02-01 13:23:07

Ah, I didn't really read the ToS, but contemplated a third party client a while ago, and was told I best avoid them due to ToS violations. I guess it must've spread through that tweet.

herokusaki | karma 217 | avg karma 1.5 · | 2014-03-05 17:30:05

Isn't that against the TOS?

pjbrunet | karma 271 | avg karma 0.46 · | 2012-11-03 15:02:23

It's against their TOS.

yannk | karma 147 | avg karma 1.86 · | 2013-10-11 00:08:50+00:00

which is against the TOS as far as I can remember.
