Verizon's super-cookies are a super privacy violation

[Commentary] You have no privacy. At least not in the sense that you will be left alone if you so choose. In this age of Big Data, with a vast industry of so-called data aggregators buying, selling, swapping and storing sensitive information on nearly everyone, it's impossible for anyone to completely stay off businesses' radar. The best anyone can do at this point is to attempt to limit the privacy damage by disabling as much as possible the most invasive tools used by businesses to pry into your life. That's why Verizon's super-cookies drew such a heated response. As privacy invasions go, this one's a doozy. Any visit to MyVerizon will result in -- you guessed it -- a cookie being generated for your computer or wireless device that will automatically enroll you in what Verizon calls its Relevant Mobile Advertising program, which oversees all online tracking. But I'll say it again: You have no privacy. And none of the companies you do business with care about that. They just care about getting caught.
