AOL Shits The Bed and All Over You, Too

"On August 6th 2006, the international internet service provider known as American Online (AOL) took it upon themselves to release to the public domain an archive of their customers search habits over a period of 3 months. None of their customers were asked for their consent prior to the release of this data, which has resulted in international outrage from the public."

The most serious problem is the fact that many people often searchon their own name, or those of their friends and family, to see whatinformation is available about them on the net. Combine these egosearches with porn queries and you have a serious embarrassment.Combine them with “buy ecstasy” and you have evidence of a crime.Combine it with an address, social security number, etc., and you havean identity theft waiting to happen. The possibilities are endless."

Jam it back in, in the dark.
