The Electronic Frontier Foundation this week announced
an action plan for those exposed by AOL's recent disclosure of user search histories. The EFF is responsible for defending many people and companies against circumstances such as this one or in other cases against lawsuits.
DailyTech reported earlier this week that
AOL had released search queries for roughly 650,000 of its users. AOL made the search queries freely available but the worst part was that the company did not request permission from any of the users before disclosing the queries. AOL so far has not responded to the press about the situation.
