Scientology Given Direct Access To eBay Database

From an anonymous reader on Slashdot:

"The Church of Scientology can delete auctions from eBay with no supervision under the VeRO program, and has used this to delete all resale of the e-meters Scientologists use. This is to stop members from buying used units from ex-members instead of buying from the official (and very expensive) source. Given Scientology's record of fraud and abuse, should eBay give them this level of trust? Will this set a precedent for other companies that want to stop the aftermarket resale of their products?"

I think that's WAY over the line. Scientologists, no matter how crazy they may be, can practice whatever weirdo rituals they want - that's their right in America. But all this censorship stuff and now this attempt to squash the idea of a free market? :|
