About a year ago at eMetrics SF in '07 at a bi-partisan analyst dinner, we described the scenario that Angel referred to as the "Digital Chernobyl". I agree with Bob about establishing above the law standards, but laws have never stopped deviants. I doubt that legislation (such as the NY assemblyman's proposed Do Not Track list) will ever be truly effective. The onus is on vendors and collectors of data to protect the privacy of visitors. But I too agree that privacy is dubious at best and we need advocates. Cheers, John Nice Summary Rene, I appreciate the recap of the sessions I missed and it appears this was a good one.
