Cyborg Renfold

This is more a call of attention then a question. Linden Lab is killing secondlife, unwittingly, but it's happening. Let me explain, some days ago I watched as 4 youngsters (20+) were using their phones to connect to SL, they were going to a club inworld, they got ejected and were called a few names, I watched them comment negatively and log off, pretending ignorance I asked about Sl, they explained it was like FB, twitter and a few more apps all together, but they couldn't enjoy it as they were called bots, alts and insulted if they went to places all together. Now, this shows that at LL someone doesn't understand the new generation, the new generation share, connect and trend in packs, this is the future social networking, the ejection tool was a product called VOODOO, under the guise of being a security tool it collects IP's and correlates them and if people connect from a shared IP, like these kids where doing (at a music fest) they are immediately considered scum. Shared IP's are a reality and a constant and this tool is a menace to bringing younger generations into SL due to their "socialization" habits. Club DJs used to count their tips in thousands and sims used to be taken down for the number of people going there, nowadays DJs count their tips in hundreds and 20-30 people at a club is a full house, all this due to this VOODOO. Every time this subject is brought up, people start talking of tin hats and paranoia, well, if secondlife is to have a future it needs the new generation, and they are being pushed away. There are many more stories that I could tell, but space here is not enough. Besides the obvious invasion of privacy (to which LL committed, GDPR) there is a lack of understanding of the new social habits of the young generations, till when will LL allow the existence of tools like this, that are slowly killing secondlife, Ebbe?This is more a call of attention then a question.

If one contacts LL support the answer is "anyone can get your ip so we are ok with your ip being taken for whatever purposes", at least that's what I got. So use proxys or NAS and protect your users. Besides the obvious invasion of privacy (to which LL committed, GDPR) there is a lack of understanding of the new social habits of the young generations, till when will LL allow the existence of tools like this, that are slowly killing secondlife, Ebbe? New users ARE needed, and new mentalities to understand them too.
