[atlarge-discuss] US FTC and the guess.com case in arrant marketing practices. FTC privacy recomendations

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

All fellow members,

  Much like our own Micheal Sherrill and Sotiris with the
pay pal saga, Guess.com paid the price.  Will Sotiris and
Micheal?

  Eric and Daniel, what does this say about Eric's broad
statement about Education is marketing and Marketing is
Education?!  I would say allot and mostly not good
out of purposeful ignorance

Excerpt:

""Consumers have every right to expect that a business that says it's
keeping personal information secure is doing exactly that," said Howard
Beales, Director of the
FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "It's not   just good business,
it's the law,"
he said.
