All P3P does is set up a standard for declaring what your privacy policy is. Just as bulk mailers love to claim they got your email address because you gave it to them, there's little to stop a company from not following its privacy policy, or from making it so complex that you come away without understanding what your "rights" are. It's true that you can try to sue a company on the grounds that it doesn't comply with its own privacy policy, but good luck. For more on the concerns relating to P3P, see <http://www.epic.org/reports/prettypoorprivacy.html>. All that said, I've started using it on some of my professional sites, because it's a good start -- especially for honest sites. Would be nice if there was a true Mac policy editor, though. -- Adam Bailey | Chicago, Illinois [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Finger/Web for PGP [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.lull.org/adam/ -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
