"By signing up for [insert service here], you agree to the privacy policy."
How many times did you actually agree with the privacy policy? Devil's advocate, I know, but it's a sobering reminder that pretty much anything you use gives information that is sold. Open a bank account? If so, notice any new junk mail? Pretty hard to live life without a bank account. Your information is still sold to third parties.
- plorg 12y agoTo play another devil's advocate, shouldn't that also imply that IE10 users sending Do Not Track are in fact explicitly representing their desire not to be tracked? I mean by that same argument the user, by using Windows/IE10 did in fact choose the default settings of the browser, per the terms and conditions agreed to upon installing/purchasing Windows/IE. Live by the T&C, die by the T&C - unless you can hide your scumminess through underhanded or obfuscated tactics.
