Ethical?

Just saw this item for sale, [link removed] I’m very surprised this has being approved.

Given the nature of this App’, it’s clear what it’s going to be used for.

Just curious if i’m the only one who thinks it should’t be listed.

It’s ethical if used correctly

Can you explain what’s the correct use? If the site owner allows to get the emails, then he’ll just provide a CSV list. I don’t find an ethical use for it, really.

I’m sure there is one, though I honestly cannot think of one at the moment . . .

I’m sure there are some valid reasons, but the fact you can’t think of one just proves that the cons far, far, far outweigh the pros. Maybe 1 or 2 pro’s and tones of cones (spam, collecting to store in a db…).

If they allow this app then I can’t see why people can’t make other apps that collect personal data.

And now another one has popped up… [link removed]

I reported the file, reviewers taking another look.

It’s obvious the Envato team support such items as two of the same item have been approved and that can’t just be a coincidence, otherwise it would’ve been removed by now. (yes it may be Christmas and whatnot but still, that’s no excuse for letting such foul items into the marketplace.)
