way to go
If anything, we should be very concern/worried about our personal data that can fall into the wrong hands. ID theft is now a huge problem/concern and will be a big problem “forever.” We do a lot of personal transactions online such as shop with credit cards, bill paying, online banking, etc (although very convenient). Google, yahoo, msn, and others cannot and will “never” have a “fool proof” way of removing/deleting selected data that are deemed personal since the net is so complex and ever-changing. As soon as google, msn/yahoo etc, fix a BUG in an ad-tracking adware/ad spy tool that leaks personal data, a hacker can create another BUG. Ask yourselves this, what does a thief would need to open a credit card/bank account or whatever under your names? He/she would full name, ss#, address, license#.., etc all of this data store on your PCs and are tracked , saved on browsers, servers, etc. It happened to me personally ..Someone stole my Identity and opened an online bank account under my name fraudulently and transferred money from my account to theirs (Belive it) . If you’ve ever been an ID theft fraud victim like me, you would be worried also.
others have to follow or else
Yahoo/google/msn, etc. serve you and other site visitors ads in their email system or on web browsers by watching what you buy, what you search for on the net. This is a privacy violation by any means.
Imagined being followed when you go to walmart or home depot by advertisers so that they can offer you to buy their laundry detergents or light bulbs? Would you be upset? Privacy violations on the web is no different than when it's done in real life.
I now only use on my isp web email system for serious transactions. No web based emails. I wonder if Ask.com will offer an web based email services that will actualy respects peoples privacy concerns?
