Re: What kind of moronic thinking is that?
Time to legislate universal 'opt-in' language for all third party use of personal data. One of the provisions would be that if you choose not to make the data available to third parties, the service cannot be refused. This would extend to data retrieved from personal computers by software programs, including browsers.
We've currently got the equation backwards. It's time to put the consumer (not the service provider) first.
