Petition Internet Privacy

More details

'Behavioural advertising is used to target particular content at individuals'.........

Not only does this mean 'targetted advertising' but it also means gathering information about everyone - that's private web information about you and your children!

I propose that these internet companies (Google, Facebook etc) should be made to offer an opportunity to OPT-IN, rather than have to search infuriatingly to find a way to OPT-OUT of personal info gathering.

New programme integration proposals point to a consolidation of personal information with NO chance of an opt-out! Collecting everyone's private information without their permission or choice!

GIVE PEOPLE THE OPTION TO OPT-IN, RATHER THAN THE PRESENT OBSCURE, OR EVEN NON-EXISTENT, OPT-OUT.
