Virtual Identification
|
Hello, all.
I recently discovered that GraalOnline has been placing markers on different parts of my computer and perhaps many others.
In short, these markers (not sure exactly what they are) are placed on the core portions of your device. From this, your device can be traced and/or tracked as to location and etc.
To be quite frank, I find this inappropriate and am clueless as to the purpose of such a function.
As of yet, the only server that uses it (to my knowledge) is Era.
Again, unlike any other aspect of web identification. I'm told these tracers cannot be "shaken" off by any means unless an internal change to your device.
In totality, I question why is GraalOnline tracking players to such an extent? This obviously a direct invasion to an individual's privacy, seeing as they can be directly tracked by this function.
Furthermore, I've discovered that the GraalOnline staff team do not undergo any kind of "screening" process, so granting them such an ability is absolutely unacceptable.
I, for one, feel violated... can someone in the higher administrative body see to either the containment of this function to screened high officials only or its immediate removal? Thank you. |
