Re: Could Be Useful

Just a question AmeritechTech. Doesn't this go against the (small/no) government ideals of libertarians?

Libertarians believe that the maximum role of government should be protecting people from force and fraud initiated by others. I would consider harvesting personal information including browsing habits without consent to be a form of fraud. Of course, if its all disclosed in the EULA, I have no objections to what they do. People need to start taking EULA's more seriously. If the document is too long too read I think that they would be best suited by not using the program. I can read through most EULA's in about 15 minutes.
