Geist’s iOptOut
Michael Geist has launched iOptOut, a free online service to send opt-out requests in bulk to companies. It’s an interesting service and I commend Geist for continuing to respond to issues about which he’s passionate (even if it comes with much flair and self-promotion). I do wonder how necessary the service really is. I don’t get too many unsolicited calls or emails, and it’s few enough that it’s easier for me to opt out of them individually. But, of course, that may a result of me being careful about how much information I give to companies and diligent about responding to their updates to privacy policies.
