So all these bloggers also think it's ethical to mirror the search data? I mean AOL is evil, but it's like: "Look AOL is evil for releasing the information!!! Imagine what sinister things people could do if they connect the dots!! Here's 30 mirror links to it!."
Well, the genie is out of the bottle as of this moment, and blaming the "free" press for providing evidence of such won't do anything about it. Shooting the messenger gets you nowhere when the problem lies at the root. Had AOL not placed their head firmly up their ass regarding customer privacy, there would be no story or evidence of such.
