does this not break privacy laws?

I think so! Under my understanding of the UK Data Protection Act (IANAL), this would have to be an opt-in scheme via a tick box on the contract. It used to be opt-out but this was changed.

Under the terms of the law an organization may not share personal data to another party without your consent. It's a pretty decent law, I don't know how the hell it got passed.

1. Is it the intriguing articles they present us that hooks us up?
2. Is it the insightful discussions?
3. The information provided by posters?
4. The humor and entertainment?
5. The urge to seek approval and recognition of our peers?

I think there are two kinds of posters on /. .
One is the kind who just read comments and go away, and very rarely post anything. Even if they did, they do it anonymous
