Unfortunately quite a few blogs have picked up this story and reported it as fact. The idea that TheyWorkForYou would report an anonymous commenter to their employer is totally against what we believe in, and harms our reputation as a politically impartial charity who can be trusted with people's personal data. We would appreciate it if you would print a prominent correction at the top of this article.
