Online Privacy Scores Of Major Sites Revealed [zdnet.com]

How much privacy do you have on the web? An independent group called PrivacyChoice has undertaken the formidable effort of assigning a numeric score to popular websites, measuring their published policies and how much tracking they allow. The results are eye-opening.

That rating, called PrivacyScore, was officially unveiled today. And while it’s fun to look at the individual scores for some of your favorite websites, it’s sobering to consider how poorly behaved most websites are when it comes to your privacy.

An interesting tool, although it probably only highlights what I thought was the case with some, but there we also some surprises.
