Is Microsoft's privacy plan an improvement? | |
|

Microsoft's plan to add privacy technology to its new browser is getting mixed reviews from privacy experts, who say the proposal is a good first step but still doesn't go far enough in protecting consumers from snooping companies. Microsoft on Wednesday unveiled detailed plans for inserting Platform for Privacy Preferences, or P3P, technology into the upcoming version of Internet Explorer 6.0. P3P is a Web standard, originally backed by Microsoft competitor Netscape Communications, that enables an automatic, computerized reading of a site's privacy policy. With P3P, Web surfers can configure their browsers to dictate whether they will relay personal information to specific sites based on those sites' privacy policies. | ||

| Considering they're the only ones doing any privacy preferences at all, I'd say they've come a long way. This is why I get sick of these moron article writers (not journalists, they haven't earned that title). Microsoft can never do any right in their eyes. Even if they take huge steps and are the first to implement privacy standards, they ask, "is it enough?". When will it end? |
