To emphasize its cover story of how the demise of privacy affects people, Wired UK sent out extremely personalized covers to select readers that contained some of their most personal information (that their subscribers may not even be aware is out there publicly).

By scouring various publicly available sources, the sleuths at Wired were able to dig out a lot of data and form some ultra-revealing facts about some of their randomly chosen readers — from what they are doing on Ebay to their profits from property and even their kids’ school reports and online activities

Ok peeps tell me. Is this woman justified in suing Rogers? She had an extramarital affair and used her personal cell phone to communicate with her partner. Her cell phone bill is sent to her home address but used her maiden name so that the billing and the records were kept separate from her families bills. When her husband called Rogers to add some extra services to the family account the woman's cell phone account was added (yes, without the customer requesting it). Rogers claims that to make billing easier and more efficient for the client they often consolidate and send an itemized bill for all services in one home. Long story short the husband received his wife's cell phone bill and saw that she was having an affair based on the call list and left her. The woman is claiming that Rogers is responsible for her marriage ending.

So what do you guys think? Way in, give me your opinion.

Since its incorporation just over five years ago, Facebook has undergone a remarkable transformation. When it started, it was a private space for communication with a group of your choice. Soon, it transformed into a platform where much of your information is public by default. Today, it has become a platform where you have no choice but to make certain information public, and this public information may be shared by Facebook with its partner websites and used to target ads.

 

This is amazing to look at it... its great to be #1, you can get away with anything.
