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

Posted by timothy on from the race-to-the-bottom dept.

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.

    Unfortunately the EFF has practically become a parody of itself. Nothing of value has come out in years, they just Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton dog-pile news stories and release useless reports.
