"The iSpies"
Websites these days can have tracking devices in them so when you go to that site they automatically know who your are and what your looking for. In the story, they knew everything about Ashley Beaty. She was being tracked everytime she would sign onto a computer. I think people that wanna do that should be locked up and rot in prison. Thats peoples private business and now everybody tries to be creepy and find out what your really doing when you sign on the internet. There is no such as privacy in our world today.

"The Privacy"
Websites have "cookies" on there site so that when you go to it, they get information and other facts about  you and sell it over there site. Websites like Facebook, Yahoo, Google and others get money by selling your information to advertisers. I dont think websites should be allowed to do that becouse there taking your information and selling it so they can make money.

"Great Debate"
Them folks that says we shouldnt have any privacy is about stupid. People should have the right to look at whatever they wanna look at and not have to worry about being tracked. Scott McNeally should be able to be tracked by everybody and he shouldnt be able to do anything without the whole U.S. knowing about. I say that becouse of the comment he said, "You have zero privacy," "Get over it".

"Don't I Know You?"
Websites like [x+1] should be deleted by the Federal Governemnt for invasion of private property. What they do, you click one button and them know who you are, where your from, your family, what kind of car you drive, what kind of credit you have and a ton more.  Thats just a little to far on the privacy. Websites are gaining clear evidence to decide if you would be a good customer or not before you even speak with someone about becoming a customer. It's not fair for the people trying to make new things happen.

"Soul-Searching"
Google is trying to find new ways where people cant be tracked as easily and to help them feel like there not creeped out the whole time there online. Everytime you click the "Like" button on facebook, they find out valuable important information about you and sell it over the internet. Today's world is screwed up and will NEVER be the way it use to be.

"An Open Book"
Facebook is trying to make it safer for people to use. Games on facebook such as FarmVille, Texas Hold Em' Poker and Frontierville give out your personal information and some of your friends personal information to the outside world. I dont understand why they cant make the games where you can play them and nothing will happen? Why does it everything have to be so strict and creepy these days?
