Reclaiming Privacy (Advertising and where your data goes to)

[Nik]

Short snippet with Byron Tau around privacy, advertising and how your information is often resold (unwillingly on occasion) to third parties. It's a good (light on content) watch. If anything a poignant reminder not to blindly give permissions to any app or website to do anything if you don't feel like it's needed. Most will work just fine.

Another reason we don't run any advertising code on CCF.

And it's only going to get worse. Kudos to Nik, CCF and our non-advertising policy from day 1. And a reminder to members that it's yours and our support and donations that keep it that way.
