We all know that privacy is really a thing of the past if you're ,or have been, on the net any amount of time at all. Want to limit how much data on you is gathered? Some tips on how to do that..........
1. Privacy needs to be made a right. 2. Regulation should replace voluntary compliance. 3. Data vendors should be held accountable. 4. Bar federal agencies from buying private data. 5. There’s a need for a global personal privacy standard.
This article is just another Internet privacy rant of which someone manages to post here on a weekly basis....
Anyone who thinks there will ever be privacy or unrestricted information on the Internet is a fool.

How to do what ? I think the article is *poorly misnamed* (is this even English?)
There are some little programmes on how to *try* to *eliminate* spying and whatever, but they all fail somewhere along the line, and they are obnoxious in the long run !
Sorry, but that link does nothing for *Privacy*.
That link is good for virus control (that is all it is *control*, nothing else, because sooner or later some virus will get past it).
Privacy snoopers are not considered a virus, and so those little programmes just sit there and record almost everything you do ...
I have two of them running and they are Google Radar, and an AntiBrowserSpy.
Do they work ? I really do not know, but at regular intervals, it does ask me for approval of removing Google thing's and other stuff.
What I have noticed is that there are less ads popping up that are location sensitive of where I look.
