The Internet & The Dream where you realize you forgot your clothes


I read a good article in the New York Times this week about the illusion of “privacy” on the internet.  As most of us are unlikely to read the privacy policy and terms of use on websites that we sign up for services on, or software we install, and even less likely to read those policies on all the websites we visit in a year, the feature is a timely reminder of how little privacy is available on the internet.  It also highlights some good strategies to stem the outgoing tide of personal information.

Bottom line:  Using browser add-ons that identify and block leaks of your data, the author noted that one social network, 5 advertising companies, and 6 data miners were prevented from accumulating data about a single, recent visit made to CNN.com.
