Privacy awarness week?

How many awarness weeks are there? I'll tell you, too many. I woke up this morning turned on the television and get some news story about "privacy awarness week", i proceeded to watch it and it just amazed me. Its no secret that people can steal your information but there is no need for an awarness week about it, anyone stupid enough to not be careful about what they put on the internet obviously shouldn't be on there. The woman on the tv went on about how small businesses you don't know might take your information, well she is obviously ignoring one of the biggest companies, most trusted companies that does this.... GOOGLE. Now i'm not completley against this, the fact is they actually develope search profiles then sell it to companies but that isn't the point, don't pretend to know about companies that sell information and then ignore one of the biggest and then continue to lecture people about how to keep their information private, if your too stupid to withhold your own information on the internet and need someone to make an awarness week and teach your about then i've only got one thing to say..... GET OFF THE INTERNET.

To explain- I mean that everyone internet user with any smarts sets up a hotmail account for those occasions where you are asked for an email address, in order to sign up for whatever!

No need to give marketing companies any useful information!

No mocking intended whatsoever!

Carry on!
