We really should make E-Mail fishing Illegal. The selling of Persons Data by some Corp that acquired it to another Corp who wants to use it, should also be Illegal. I don't expect to ever see this though, but People need to be the focus of our Society and part of that should include the full Ownership of their Data.

I agree, it really should be illegal, boggles the mind that it's not. They have strict privacy laws when it comes to medical information, why only medical information, it should be ALL personal information. Sadly I doubt we'll ever see such laws, as being in a 5 eyes country, the government actually loves this sort of stuff.

Lord, though, sometimes you are presented with a site that won't work at all and 100 different scripts to try re-enabling, all with completely uninformative names. Why do they have so many scripts that aren't really necessary for anything useful to the user?

Then do you really want to visit that site?

This is where you cease to be the consumer, and become the product.

If my couriosity gets the better of me, I open it is a private window.

That works about as well as the "do not call lists".
