Hi

This is worth a read: 

- Occupy Tracking
  
  Major advertisers and corporations have been quietly
  tracking the online movements of those visiting ?Occupy
  Wall Street? related sites for months. They have have
  used this data to create detailed portraits of the lives
  and interests of potential protestors. This data is then
  sold in unregulated markets and retained indefinitely in
  databases that may be subject to secret government
  subpoena. The most shocking thing about this is who is
  ultimately responsible: the self-proclaimed
  revolutionaries who run the sites.

All the best
