Worst Companies At Protecting User Privacy: Skype, Verizon, Yahoo

First time accepted submitter SmartAboutThings writes "Apple and Microsoft are one of the worst companies at protecting our privacy, according to EFF's privacy report. Dropbox, Twitter and Sonic have some of the best scores." "Sonic" is California ISP Sonic.net, which tops the field with the EFF's only 4-star rating. Of ISPs with national presence, ATT and Comcast come in with a single star apiece, and Verizon gets a goose egg.

No-one expected a defence of the Spanish Inquisition.

(There was one great thing about living before the late 20th century: the world had more than one religion, and you could always at least try to escape the hell around you. Now it's capitalism with a strong legal bias toward big business everywhere, so you either comply or you starve. Not much different than 500 years ago, then.)
