Dear All,
I'm a member of a web based forum hosted in the UK, users register to make
posts. If one of those users chooses a second username and posts offensive
remarks, can the host reveal to other members the main username of the
poster? This may reveal the users name and email address.
I feel they can't as it would identify the individual and be against the
DPA.
Any comments?
Thanks
Carl
