EPIC Criticizes Top 100 Sites' Privacy

EPIC, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, has released "Surfer Beware III," a report that claims "few of the 100 most popular shopping websites provide adequate privacy protections for consumers." It's apparently the combination of collecting personal information and delivering profilers' cookies that has them the most concerned. Catchiest quote: "someone other than Santa is reading our Christmas list. These profiling companies know when we are buying and when we are online."
