Privacy out of the window with Arabian Business

Now this is outrageous. You click on a newsletter link and your e-mail address gets recorded along with the article link from the newsletter. Arabian Business does record your personal reading hits, and no not anonymously, you are exposed. Is that the Tracking part you talk about? Because that’s against all the privacy rules and ethical practices in marketing data generation.

Here’s my status-bar while mousing over a link listed in their newsletter

I was gonna get this blog into a silence period but this had to be blogged about, man this is so not right!

Imagine, if that’s what’s happening with the newsletter, then go figure what happens when you actually log-in and browse their website. So turnin’ off! Even though the data is not so important it does expose one’s anonymity while reading, it’s so unethical.

That’s so not right!
