Internet Gone Too Far

So, I have been believing that the internet has been going to far in regards to invading people's privacy but as I was reading yesterday, even MSN has gotten into the vibe and is forewarning people about privacy issues that are not out of control. Apparently, there are search engines out there that are literally tracking various bits of information about each and everyone of us from blogs, youtube videos, flickr, myspace etc. and combines this information all together to give a tabulation and snoop of private citizens. This is crazy because none of this information is illegal to obtain (tickets, civil cases, divorces and marriages are also included in the information). This is getting out of hand. We are all being subject to a collection of data that promotes to the world, who we are and the footprints that we are leaving from the internet. They even search the wish lists from Amazon on the books we like and the movies we are interested in. The article which gives more information is http://tech.msn.com/products/articlepcw.aspx?cp-documentid=18632762&GT1=40000 which gives a more detailed article of exactly how at risk we really are. We have no privacy ladies and gentlemen. I am really concerned. Take a look at the article and tell me what you think. The scary thing is, as I said, this is all legal.
