EFF: AT&T, Comcast, and Snapchat are laggards on privacy policies
(Ars Technica): http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/att-comcast-and-snapchat-are-laggards-on-privacy-policies/
The highest ratings -- companies given six stars -- were handed to
Apple, Credo Mobile, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Sonic,
Twitter, and Yahoo. The report, (PDF) released Thursday, reviewed
26 companies in all, rating them on everything from whether they
require warrants for data handovers to whether they have publicly
opposed mass surveillance and fight for "users' privacy rights in
courts." The study found that Snapchat, AT&T, and Comcast lagged
"behind others." Snapchat was among the biggest privacy
underachievers, earning one star.
