RedZone, Second Life IP Address Detection Tool, Runs Afoul of New SL Policy, EU Data Privacy Law

“An ingenious system created for Second Life land holders to reduce incidents of harassment and abuse by malicious griefers has itself turned out to be a potentially nefarious tool of harassment and abuse.  zF RedZone is a tool that was designed to help Second Life users identify and block problem users from entering their territory and wreaking havoc.  If you were looking for a way to get rid of griefers … and copybots … RedZone was one of the best ways to fight back… The incredible thing about this is that it worked–but there was a catch.” (Justin KwongVirtual Navigator, Feb 28, 2011) Read
