Do You Need Absolute Privacy?

,----[ Quote ]
| You would think that the owner of every 
| single WordPress site out there would want 
| as many visitors as possible, but youâd be 
| wrong. Not everyone needs Sunday Morning 
| SEO.
| There are plenty of reasons why you would 
| want to keep a blog as private as possible. 
| Perhaps youâre using it as an project site 
| in conjunction with the awesome P2 theme 
| and you only want the project members 
| seeing the posts and responding or perhaps 
| you have just set up a site for you newly 
| born and you want to share those early 
| updates with just your family.

Tech coalition pushes rewrite of online privacy law

,----[ Quote ]
| That law, the Electronic Communications 
| Privacy Act, or ECPA, is notoriously 
| convoluted and difficult even for judges to 
| follow. The coalition hopes to simplify the 
| wording while requiring police to obtain a 
| search warrant to access private 
| communications and the locations of mobile 
| devices--which is not always the case 
| today.
