| U.S. Federal Communications Commission does the same thing..
Letters and comments to the FCC are also posted un-scrubbed.
Personally, I think its good that we know who is saying what to policy-makers. Although, the downside of this practice is that people who value privacy highly have to make a choice as to whether to participate in the public process.
Either way: If someone abuses that published information, then go after the abuser, not the entity that is practicing open government.

It is good to know who's saying what...
Sadly, those that have the most sway (lobbyists) also don't have their home phone number, address and email address posted for public consumption.
The privacy of the rich should not outweigh that of the common man. |

The public did not have to provide anything other than an email address to comment. And even that email address could be a throw-away address if privacy is a concern. The other info was entirely voluntary.

1 edit | Unfortunately, this is the result of an email sent to thousands of users who were clearly not informed properly that this is not your average website to submit your comments. Don't get me wrong here, that was a good move but that was done in a rush time and shit happen sometimes...
On another note, CRTC should be more clear on their website instead of putting such important details in the privacy policy. I can understand that the average guy who received the email did not really had the chance/time to check such details.
edit: typo

Sadly, the fields on the submission form were not marked *optional...
If they were, many would not bother to provide extra info.
Most people did as such because they assume by giving their real info it will ensure their complaint is marked as valid and actually read. |

Phone number to public - it's overkill... But it's good news for telemarketers

| Sorry guys, it was not intended to be a bitch slap. I trully hope you understand i am working in the same direction. That being said, you can't deny it was a rush call and rushed things have some downsides...not trying to blame anyone here !
Best regards, DiskACE |

No matter how lousy CRTC privacy policy may be, I don't regret backing you up.
So for all of my gettin' up in arms about this, I don't place any of the blame at your feet.
Only with our impartial regulator.

I would have not put my real information there anyway even though I should.
anyone who puts their real information anywhere on the Internet should not act so surprised if it gets publicly viewed elsewhere...

I don't really like all the applications that I have to opt-out of one-at-a-time, though.
