I don't mind government knows my plans, since there are some limitations of privacy disclosure in that area (I hope). I do mind that private companies start treating customers like government, requesting to give up so much privacy so they can SELL it. They even don't want to do own digging job anymore, they want us to give them all personal information. From their side they guarantee nothing. They don't improve anything. And we have no control to know whom they sell it. It's like wild west in data mining, and we are just a source.
Btw, when I book tickets online, and don't have any google reminders yet. Perhaps because I don't use google chrome, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, I start thinking about own website for photos. It's a pain, but seems better than flickr and other uploaders.

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.

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.

Do you care about providing all personal info to the new flickr/yahoo owner Verizon, or you will leave flickr?
I'm thinking about killing my account before the Verison will just lock me out from my pictures because I don't like the idea, that Verizon can store private info anywhere outside US, and there is no way I will provide those bastards with all personal information just to use flickr as free uploader.
Now I have a question what to do. To kill my account, and save the back up home on external drives, I guess..
