Do law enforcement authorities in real life not have the right to browse through personal information in order to collect evidence on criminal activities? Seeing how we cannot foresee any criminal acts in advance, chat logs are about the only way to get proof on a user's misconduct. Testimony aside, because testimony is biased. People gonna steal the font? Vandalise the background? E-murder the hypotenuse? Genuine criminal activity warrants it, this does not. I will admit that I see no real need for chat logs, I only saw them as an interesting feature that allowed me to go back and recollect the cool things that had transpired. At the same time, I understand its uses and Teh's intent, while you either don't or don't want to. Answer me this, though - have you ever done anything that, if recorded, could get back at you somehow? Except your linking of arguably "inappropriate" content (on what I call bullshit, by the way) that everybody knows about anyway and, as Neon had stated, belated punishment for whatever offenses you might commit is not gonna occur because of the chat hacks. So... honestly, you stand to lose nothing, save for perhaps your state of mind (which happens to be your own problem).
