Poll question: Data mining for consumer buying habits
Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 11:11 PM by serryjw
Do you mind? I'm going to separate gov't from industry on this question. PBS was talking about our government looking into your banking records to find young kids that may be more inclined to go into the military due to financial stresses.
I personally LIKE when I go on to Amazon and they offer me new arrivals in music and books based on my previous buying habits.......F*CK gov't, I want them to know nothing!

2. NO to gov't AND industry. Need to
add that to your poll. I know you want to separate them but these days it's not really reasonable to do that, since everything we browse and buy has the potential to make us look like a fucking terrorist.
