Privacy Policies Heading Downhill 183
ipfwadm writes: "There's a good article in the NY Times about various internet companies changing their privacy policies to allow the selling of users' information to marketers. The article mentions Yahoo and how they changed everyone's marketing preferences recently, among other companies (including everyone's favorite, Microsoft)." We already did a story on Yahoo's changes, but this one is notable because Yahoo's former vice president for direct marketing blasts the changed policy. And LorenzoV submitted a story from Wired about TrustE failing to censure Yahoo over their changes. Again.

Ahhh.. Someone who believes in the dollar vote. Yes, we like your belief in the dollar vote, and will elevate your papers with prestige and glory. You may even wine and dine with us, we like your ideology so much.
A handful of discriminating geeks may end their Yahoo accounds, but are people going to leave en masse?
MuaHaHaHaHa!
All your privacy are belong to us. =^_^=
