North American Corporate Privacy Comparison

Posted by simoniker on from the south-park-conundrum dept.

Scooter[AMMO] writes "The Toronto Star has published an article on a study comparing the way companies protect the privacy of their customers, which is surely a topic of interest to most /.'ers. Choice quote: 'The study, the first to compare the corporate privacy practices of comparable Canadian and U.S. firms, found that Canadian businesses see their privacy practices as an opportunity to improve relations with customers, while their U.S. counterparts viewed privacy measures more as a way of complying with legislation and avoiding civil lawsuits.'"

    I think Slashdot needs to change the way redundant moderation works. I keep getting posts marked as redundant, which is correct, IF I'M NOT THE FIRST TO SAY IT!!!

    You should have to site a previous post that makes the post redundant and meta-moderation can keep it in check.

    3rd party cookies from slashdot? What next, pop-under ads at sourceforge? Fake 'dialog boxes' at freshmeat? I think we should be told.
