Microsoft opts Passport holders into spam hell | |
|
||
| Time: 15:45 EST/20:45 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||
|
Emboldened by user 'apathy' to Yahoo!'s privacy changes in April, Microsoft has followed suit. It has now co-opted existing Passport users to share their email addresses and other registration information with third parties, Register readers report. Three new checkboxes have appeared on the registration page, with "Share my email address" and "Share my other registration information" ticked by default. The policy change doesn't apply to new sign-ups. Or at least, it didn't when we tried to this morning: all three fields are unchecked by default. The "my other registration information" discloses Birth Date, Country/Region, "Prefecture" (an odd way of describing "District"), Gender, Accessibility, Time Zone and Occupation to .NET participants. | ||
