Is RHP selling access to ***subscriber*** data?
I looked at a Hawaiian guitarist named Kimo West and next time I went to Amazon lo and behold there were a half dozen Kimo CD's for sale. Freaky if you ask me.
One place I went looking at amateur radio equipment on a totally different site, next time to Amazon, can you give a blind guess as to what was on the ad's there? They seem to have their fingers into the entire internet. We don't need to worry about Ruskies, we need to worry about Amazon.

No data has ever (or will ever) be sold to third parties. This is not Facebook. 🙂

Well. Slight correction, there: we do need to worry about Putin's bot brigade. And Chinese malware, and the NSA. But we need to worry about Amazon more - and about Google more than that.

May it be that our browsers glean date from our posts? I’m pretty ignorant about this.
