More privacy violations from Yahoo!

Via NY Transfer News * All the News That Doesn't Fit


[This is from the Ontario DXers Assn. list on yahoo. Yahoo is so busy
selling everyone's data they can't even keep their damned services
online. Methinks they are doing better selling spam victims than they
are selling advertising...]


Yahoo is at it again! Urgent protect your info!

Please let everyone you know, know of this right now!

Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track you around
the net & see what you are doing. ...like cookies......

Take a look at
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html

Somewhere about halfway down the page in the right hand side
paragraph, there is a blue tiny little link that lets you opt-out of
their electronic snooping.

I advise everyone to do so immediately if not sooner.

Also note that when you opt out, a window opens that says you have
successfully opted out, but also says that if you want to cancel opt
out to press the small [button] below.

DON'T click the small button thinking that it is the final opt out.
NOT!!!!!

[Just hit "Return to Yahoo Privacy" instead.]
