Re: Does Online Privacy 'Really' Matter? 'No' According to ConsumersPrndll – Dec 02, 2003 3:14 PM PDT
There is no such thing as "online privacy". People don't seem concerned about it just simply because they ASSUME that what they do is private. The internet is "open". Most people don't know that they leave tracks when they surf. For those that know, most don't know how to prevent or irradicate those tracks. Any survey of this kind is to proceed under a false presumption. The key to most problems lies in the attitude and knowledge of the end user. This whole thing demands that poeple take the time and initiative to learn----otherwise, suffer the consequences. The proof of everything I say is plastered all over the net.....
