A simple yes or no...

Websides collect your personal information to sell. They do not have to tell you...do you think this is ethical? Why or why not?

Well I suppose I would say it is unethical to sell personal information to other companies. With the way things are in today's society one would tend to think that if your personal information ended up in the hands of an unhonest person...you might have some problems. Each time an individual purchases something on an online store...personal information is being realeased...home addresses, telephone numbers, and sometimes even social security numbers!

As I sit here typing this...kinda scary how easily personal files, numbers, and codes can be obtained. I suppose if you really are that paranoid of it getting out and into the wrong hands...maybe you should just pay with cash the next time you decided to get on ebay...oh wait you can't! lol....just how it is...if people wanna find ya these days they will! For instance, look any the sources like Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter...in a matter of minutes you can find someone you just met that day with a few simple searching characteristics!

Bottome line...it's scary to think about, but just be careful who you are giving that information too! And I am sure everything will be just fine!

'til next time...
