View Full Version : How do you feel about companies collecting information?
For use in targeted advertising? I hear a lot of people bitching about it.
It's common, well known examples include Sony, which has been doing it for years, Google has quite a reputation for it too especially with the release of their new web browser. Does it bother you to think that information such as your name, the movies you watch, what websites you visit are being collected by these people?

Do what thou wilt All,
How do they know my name and what movies I watch?
Where did you get the idea that they do this and how do they do it?

It's a good thing I don't have a DVD drive on my computer and my DVD player isn't connected to the internet.

Bumping all the way from the bottom, yes OP, you should thank me, and the ones flapping their virtual gums at me for doing it, can go suck a boatload of crusty rhino balls in Hell. ;)
Thankyouverymuch!

I feel great, whenever I get the chance, I'll misinform, lie, cheat, and do my best to throw their "survey" -or whatever they call it- off!
Just to make them fuck up, waste time/money/manpower, which hopefully will make them understand that it's not worth it...:)
