Not sure it's OIJ material, since they at least apologized for deleting their users' data. Of course that's not as good as not-deleting it in the first place. This was posted in 2009 and is unfortunately still relevant: they chose to rip it down posthaste, with a specific amount of “warning time”... it also happened in an environment where this approach was considered legitimate and valid. This is the heart of what I’m trying to get to: they saw absolutely nothing wrong with this.
