Can you provide some examples? An initial search did not turn up any privacy complaints, so I am hoping for either some better search terms or an article on their mishandling of data.
Did I miss the part about customer satisfaction? Guy could have just moved from solving customer issues in 2 hours to aggravating and loosing customers in under 2 minutes.
