Recent Noteworthy Privacy News

Here's a replay of five online privacy articles we tweeted about in February 2012.

You don't own your content, Facebook does - Your photos on Facebook and MySpace still exist years after you have "deleted" them. Want proof?

Twitter implements default HTTPS for all users - Most users will have no idea what this means, but basically Twitter is doing a great thing for user safety @twitter

Adobe fails again. It's almost not news. Sigh. - Oh look, another massive serious security hole in Adobe Flash. I await the day Flash is a distant memory.

Those cute smartphone apps are hacker heaven - "Twitter uploads your smartphone's address book... names, email addresses, phone numbers... and stores the data..."

Most users still won't understand the risks - Amazon, Apple, Google, HP, Microsoft, and RIM agree to disclose up front how your private data will be used by apps
