Good tip! I wonder if they can delete those, too?

Hmmm, is their FB page gone now or is it just me?

I can't see it at all. Either they can block individuals (I expect there is a setting for that) or they've decided to take the whole page down while they figure out how to handle the situation they've created.

If things are close to what you described it sounds similar to what carrierIQ tried to do a couple months ago to a security researcher who discovered carrierIQ's software was tracking users' activities in a lot of detail, IIRC. They tried to make him apologize and take it back. He found a lawyer and/or went to the EFF. Here was the EFF's response: https://www.eff.org/sites/default/files/eckhart_c%26d_response.pdf

CarrierIQ publicly apologized TO HIM a couple days later. Not sure if you'd get their (EFF) interest, but it is definitely worth calling a few lawyers and seeing what they'd suggest/charge for a meeting and response letter on your behalf.

Heh, I suggested the same thing. But Kickstarter seems to be focused on raising money for creative endeavours, so this probably wouldn't fly.

Arent you website-capable? Could you build a website that takes donations? I bet we could get some good cash simply redirecting from here.

I can see the page just fine. They've deleted any negative comments, closed public posting, disallowed replies on the news wall, and deleted the posts that people put in the "recommendations from friends" box, but the page is still there.

I can see the "recommendations". Mine is there on the front. "I can't recommend..."

I also admin a (non-gaming) business page, and the recommendations do have a "hide" function admins can use. So I guess the admin simply hasn't noticed them yet.
