Giving in to overwhelming public outrage, Viacom has allowed YouTube’s request that they be allowed to anonymize your viewer information before handing it over.
Of course, liars that they’re, Viacom claims they never asked for your personal info. Bullshit. They asked for all that and more. And they could have easily used it to sue you or your loved ones.
I suspect this isn’t the last we’ll hear of Viacom’s shenanigans in their billion-dollar suit against YouTube. Good work fighting them off this time, guys. Let’s remain vigilant, lest they try something else.
