Re: "don’t trust any company with more personal information than they need to have"
It is getting just as bad in-person. It seems one can't buy anything these days without being asked to supply every last bit of personal information. I despair at seeing people hand it over without even asking why they need it, without even thinking abut it.
Me; I don't tell them anything despite how much they insist I must. I don't know whether I should laugh or cry when it gets to; do you want to sell me this 25p second-hand DVD or not?
