I'd probably equate models' online privacy with home security (in this very specific instance). If a friend of mine took the time to sneak into my house when I was out simply to illustrate to me that my home security was not up to par, I'd be pretty pissed. On the one hand, they might have only done it to point out to me that if they could do it, anyone could; and they might not have stolen anything; but I'd still have a hard time trusting them in the future. Even if I subsequently upgraded my home security as a direct result of their actions, and ultimately benefitted from it, I'd feel uneasy about the whole thing, ya know? What if they stumbled across my penis pump, or my stamp collection, or my library of "How To Get Laid... Tonight" self-help books... that... totally doesn't exist :?
I don't think it makes a member an asshole if they're genuinely trying to help out a model and they feel the best way to do that, is to "stalk" them online so they can report back on the things they easily found, in the hopes that the model does something to prevent potentially dangerous members from discovering the same things. I can see the logic there, and can see how it might ultimately benefit the model.
But just as you'd be more than a little freaked out if a friend broke into your house (with good intentions), I don't see many models taking kindly to someone scouring the internet for their personal information. They have no way of determining which members are doing it with their best interests at heart, and which members are doing it because they're genuinely stalking them. It also assumes that the model isn't already doing everything they can to preserve their own privacy. I'd rather not force a model I actually enjoy talking to/perving on to second guess whether I'm an unhinged psychopath desperately trying to pick up the virtual scent of her panties so I can track her down and steal her shoes so I can melt them down and fashion them into a rudimentary kayak, or whether I merely assumed that she needed me to invade her privacy so that we might come up with a plan of ensuring that other - potentially mental - people, don't do the same thing in the future :twocents-02cents:
Addendum: Holy needlessly long sentences, Batman :?
