I understand the illusion of privacy online. However, Verizon wants to compete with FB requesting users provide with real names, and establish the mechanism of control your real personal information. And what can I get instead? Mail box for spam, and flickr uploader? Not too much.
" You also agree to:
(a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Yahoo Service's registration form (the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.
If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Yahoo has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Yahoo has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Yahoo Services (or any portion thereof)"
" you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the applicable privacy policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States
and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by Yahoo and its affiliates"
Again, for what? I understand that yahoo, compromised already big time, just sells our accounts to verison, which, in own turn, wants all users voluntarily to complete its database with true and complete identity information, so they can sell it to whoever pays. Not giving anything instead. Not even improving security. Doing nothing, offering nothing.

Originally posted by DeadJohn I would consider paying for Flickr and other services if it meant no data sharing. However, even when you pay your data gets shared. Your ISP has a huge dossier of your internet activities.
Data sharing (aka data trade) generates more profit than establishing paid non-sharing service. That's how I understand that. If it would be an opposite, the business of non-sharing would be booming.
