RE:RE:RE:SayonaraIf you have a privacy issue with SH, then you're oblivious to the other companies out there that have been harvesting much more of this data to the point where companies like FB know when you take a dump based on geolocation, time spent there and the foods you eat. And even if you don't use FB, your phone alone is Apple/Google software, which means the same thing. SH would be the least of my privacy worries at this point

You should file a small court claim though they will either settle or burn 5-20 K in legal by the time it's scheduled for trial then just withdraw the case haha.

Good luck to everyone, I will continue to read your posts, but please be very careful big brother is watching !!
I have had some experience with this issue with Stockhouse and asked them to correct the problem since I was concerned that a hack might affect my investment portfolio.
After my request....crickets from Stockhouse
With some reluctance, I sent them email indicating that if they didn't correct the problem to protect my identity, I would call the Privacy Commisioner and have them investigate. Really don't like to do that heavy handed sort of thing but really had no choice and Stockhouse responded a couple of hours later and solved the problem.
People need to recognize that social media on the internet is pourous and they need to make sure they have proected themselves. In my case, I set up my investment accounts such that the accounts cannot be viewed without a text message to my phone with a code and so a hacker can't get in unless they have my phone.
