Interweb == teh bad!
I have had it up to here with every company on the planet trying their best to track everything you do. Buy a computer and get it online. Then go to Start > Run > cmd and a DOS window should appear. Then type netstat -a and see how many different companies have an open connection to your computer.
And they do it all for profit, thru advertising. But it wont just stay at advertising for much longer. Once your favorite grocery store starts selling your information to your insurance companies, you can expect them to start jacking your rates up. Oh lets not forget that since you bought Drano at one store and some other household cleaner at another, the FBI will want to get involved because you might be making bombs!
Its not anyone elses business to know when you play your games or what web sites you look at except you and that specific website. Its not anyone elses business to know what you watch on tv unless you have volunteered to provide that information. Your employer doesnt need to know how many rolls of toilet paper you have or what your off work activities consist of. And they think they have the right to do it. Did I give my permission to anyone to track me for sales and marketing and finding more reasons to increase my cost of living? NO! You want my information GET A WARRANT.
We need to put a stop right now to the absolute invasion of privacy where every piece of software you have on your computer doesnt try to tell the parent company everything it can about you. Enough is enough!
I hope that RP gets a stronger stance on individual privacy vs. companies.
