The complaint is also that they changed the goalpost. I did not sign up to their privacy policy (they weren't running the show when I signed up back in 2002). They have, retrospectively and without my permission, given themselves the right to spam me about services unrelated to FT.

As I said in an earlier post, if they were in the UK (or indeed anywhere else in the EU) they would have been in breach of privacy laws and one could have had them prosecuted. I believe US laws aren't as strict as ours... they really ought to be!
