Says Michael Arrington of TechCrunch, “The utter stupidity of this is staggering.”
Gosh, AOL only made public some 20 million web queries from 250,000 people.
That’s not NEARLY as invasive as this probe cam (click to see recent footage) they keep sending to my house.
I have downloaded the file, and put it up online.

I think by now, all of our idenites are out there. Between the VA, AOL, and every frigging credit card company, we are all naked.
Let’s start over with new SS numbers for all. By the way Kevin, you are a little late on your Visa and that little rash “down there” hasn’t cleared up.

Is there a way to have your data removed?
Doubt it. AOL has removed it, but it’s everywhere now. Where would you start?
NOTHING is privated in this digital world..:).
