Also, I've heard concerns that Maria is some kind of evil entity that will somehow use this to her own gain. Seriously? What is she gonna do? Sell it on the black market to the highest bidder? Hunt you down based on what country you live in? Maria isn't an evil bitch and this bot isn't some kind of data mining tool that can hunt you down.

You guys need to drop this damn paranoia and let the bot back on chat. Looking at the OP, Maria is being nothing but transparent with this now.

"But Weaver, she could be hiding something!" Like what? What could she possibly hide and what could she gain from it? Nothing. So let's just quit it with this and let the bot go about it's business. As much as I apperciate you, Weaver, as a friend. I think this is the most misinformed thing I think I've heard you say or rather, read what you thought. Weaver makes valid points. I am not using the data for anything malicious, I am not directly accessing the data, and it is not gathering any information that users do not want others to know. The bot even gives people the option to opt-out of the testing (much like you are opted out of it).
