Yahoo Treading Carefully Before Exposing More Private Data
crimeandpunishment writes "Yahoo hopes to turn on a new sharing option without turning off its users. The company is trying to avoid the privacy backlash that has befallen Facebook and Google. It's advising its email account holders, all 280M of them, to review their privacy settings in advance of Yahoo's new features that will share users' online activities and interests with people in their address books, unless they take steps to prevent it."
It could be worse

I won't let THEM win lover.....
Pretty funny, but this is slasdot you know. Ex-girlfriend doesn't mean what you think it means.
He's never 'physically' meet this girl or for that matter even 'talked' to her on the phone or even seen her on a webcam. He's only chatted with her in IRC and email, probably for a few years, until he realized that he could never really leave his basement to meet her let alone have sex with another human being.
Plus everyone knows that she's are really he's on-line unless they are underage... There are no exceptions... NONE!
Oh course being /. nobody can be sure his "girlfriend" doesn't have a penis either. Just saying.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
