On Privacy, privacy rights, and abuse and violations of them-- links to sites

[proximity1]

To promote the discussion of issues of privacy--especially as concerns privacy in the use of digitally-networked communications media--and to provide readers with referernces and links to sites and organizations which present information on these issues, this thread is dedicated to posting such links and to discussing the issues and the information and the sites linked. The presence or absence of a link should not be interpreted as necessarily an endorsement of the site or its views or claims. In some cases, I expect to include links to sites as examples of abuse or violations of public users' privacy.

 

As a start,
