Congress Now Eyes Embarq's Use Of NebuAD > Personally Identifiable Information???

Personally Identifiable Information???

how is showing who owns a domain in violation of privacy. get over it already.

if you're that worried about your information being private get the hell off the internet already.

You agree to have your information public as soon as you turn on your web browser or sign up for someone online. Especially a domain unless you pay extra to have the information kept private.

I really hope Playboy sends you a letter in the mail offering a one month free subscription that starts out with "Because you browse soo much porn in the internet....."

I also hope your daughter checks the mail first.

Also you are going to have a tough time hiding all the VD medication samples from your wife. Even though all you did was miss click on the wrong link. YEA like she will believe that one.

Go away troll. My post was perfectly reasonable in stating that NebuAD considers your IP address not private info when in fact it IS private info.

The owners of websites can choose to have their domain name's registar information anonymous or not on the internet. All you have to do is ask.

That is correct. Most charge extra for it, or you could enter the wrong info.

Even if you do hide the registrant info for the domain, I'm sure if you have a domain then you have some sort of website that has your contact info on it. All this info is public information or information YOU have provided, But when you attach browsing histories and search terms to it, it becomes a problem.

Your IP address IS private, keep it that way.

first off i'm not married and nor do i have kids and i do watch what I click.

Your IP is not private information. you may consider it but its not. As soon as you go onto the Internet it's sending out your IP no way to hide it how much you try. It is bound to be found and tracked back to you anyway you spin it.

If you don't want someone seeing your information don't use the internet. it's that simple.

And call me what you want but the fact is your IP is NOT private and DOES NOT belong to you. Don't like it? TOO FUCKIN BAD!

Kyle,

You said, "If you don't want someone seeing your information don't use the internet."

And, for normal web browsing, I agree with you. The servers you visit have to know your IP address in order to send information back to you. They also log this information for various purposes, and some even use it to organize their advertising to you. By visiting these sites, you're implicitly giving them permission to track this.

That said, NebuAd and transparent boxes that record clickstream data do not fall into the above category. They see everything because they're installed inside the ISP. They not only see the same data that one website sees, but for all the other websites, too. That's a very different situation. The internet is the conveyance were you conduct your most personal research, and it's aggregation is not appropriate fodder for sales to 3rd parties in my opinion and sense of privacy.

If you don't share my sensibilities, fine. But at least acknowledge that they are both mine to have and not uncommon.

ICANN rules actually say you can not fill in the wrong information and go on and on about what can and will happen if information is found to be wrong and not up to date.

and again IP is NEVER private. ITS always seen by the public.
