- jlarocco 8y agoYeah. In 2005 I had no idea they meant "personal information". Although in 2005 maybe they hadn't even realized yet.
- endofcapital 8y agoThey didn't have any clue. Back in 2005 personal data and access logs and analytics was considered a chore, you'd delegate the annoyance of log rotation to some sys admin or helpdesk intern and generally purge all data as quickly as possible because storage was expensive. Occasionally someone would make a cool tool that parsed htaccess logs and gave you a neat visualization or something, but that was it. Literally nobody tracked anything on the internet. It almost seems like fiction when I type it out now.
