My Data Is My Data
Posted by: Flugpo on April 23rd, 2008 in Flugpo Updates, Tips.

Protect your data from privacy invasion

In response to the growing concerns that social network site user’s have had over privacy, we’ve sponsored the development of a plug-in to help counteract the collection and sale of personal information. This plug-in will be available through MyDataIsMyData.org.

Selling private information for profit unbeknownst to the user’s is an abuse of their trust and MyDataIsMyData.org hopes to empower these user’s by allowing them to control the amount of personal information that they make visible.
