Not really, unless it caused me some damages. What I would want is for them to remove it and do some sort of mass apology thingy.

I can understand asking for money to repair the damages, that's fair, like in car crashes if it's an accident it bothers me when people sue for as much money as they can/more than it's worth. Like people don't make mistakes.

I just can't see suing people as a solution. Like you said, removing and a mass apology would be a start. Better than just suing them for millions of dollars like someone would. We would have to work together to make our lives more secure, not just ask for money.


There was this woman. Her husband, or someone, was put in jail for a while because they thought he was a terrorist. They were wrong. Now he's out and she's gonna sue for millions and she even says "I know it's greedy."
Normally I'm all for solidarity for those who need it, against authority especially, but she's just milking it with no concern for the others it would/could affect. She is greedy and she doesn't care.
She deserves something, but not what she's trying to get.


There.

I think its okay, I mean after all, you don't even have to know how much information they collect. That would be stupid if they told you all of the information that was logged on your computer. I mean, they probably record keystrokes to improve their spellchecker, for all we know.

They do record keystrokes to help their spell check, but it shows you a list of words to send them and asks you if it's ok or not. I usually say "ok."

to me though this just bothers and waste the consumers time... if the informations was secretly sent w/o asking me i still wouldn't care... its just one of those things. a lot of programs offer options as to whether you want information to be sent to "said company" i usually say yes.. its to the bettering of the program(s).
