Hi all, Since there are several here that subscribe to Yahoo and need yet another reason to stop using it, maybe this will help. Seems besides making their service more difficult to use, they also think invading your right to privacy is needed. The message is quoted from another source I ran across today. Lee **********************begin quote If you have a Yahoo email account, subscribe to Yahoo mailing lists / Groups, or do anything at Yahoo that required singing in, please listen up. Yahoo has begun using a new tracking technology, referred to as Web Beacons, to trace where you surf outside of Yahoo servers. However - You can opt out! Here is the mesage I recieved from a Yahoo Group. Just follow the instructions to opt out of this new snooper. Opting out must be done on every CPU that you use to log in to Yahoo. Each cnfiguration cookie must be changed. ------------------------------------------------------------ If you're a member of a Yahoo group, read on. Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track Yahoo Group users around the net and see what you're doing and where you are going - similar to cookies. Take a look at their updated privacy statement: http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html About halfway down the page, in the section "Outside the Yahoo! Network," you'll see a little "click here" link that will let you "opt-out" of this new method of snooping. Once you have clicked that link, you are opted out and taken to a new page. Notice the "Success" message at the top the next page. But be careful because on that page there is a "CancelOpt-out" button that, if clicked, will *undo* the opt-out. This is something NEW. Protect yourself if you don't want to be tracked. -------------end quote -- --- KMail v1.6 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
