Gobbling your data privacy like a hungry Gator
The Department of Foxes Guarding Henhouses chimes in with this blurb, courtesy of one of my co-workers:
The Department of Homeland Security raised some eyebrows last month when it appointed a representative of Claria, a prominent "adware" maker, to a privacy advisory board.Now we have a chance to see whether the inclusion of Claria/Gator vice president D. Reed Freeman will make a difference in the committee's discussions about privacy and security. The DHS announced this week that the committee's first meeting will be Apr. 6 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC.
So one of the high muckity-mucks of that insipid little software package Gator, notorious for taking your private information and doing Cthulu knows what with it, is now in charge over at the Data Privacy section of Homeland Security.
Why has my personal Terrorism Alert level just gone up to Red?
