I enjoy RWR, but it's a bit sensationalist to use "seize" in that headline when what they really mean is "access" and by access they mean "access after explicit

  Not to mention that in a lot of situations this is exactly the point. Twitter can access contact data so it can add a person's twitter account into their contact information. You might use a solution to synchronize your contacts with a CRM so that you can follow up on potential leads. That's "seizing" you're data, but that exactly what you want it to do in that case. This is pure sensationalism and is exactly why journalism shouldn't be the pratice of copying press releases for the sake of some hits.

    The constant chasing after traffic is not a good thing for the new media ecosystem, it leads to sites that glory in lots of low quality attention, and a boring sameness to the novelties on parade. We need to find a way to compensate creators based on the quality of their audience, rather than mere quantity. The only functional forces pushing in that direction at present are patronage amd pride. Patronage from the audience and pride from the performers.
