sixapart.com— Your lists of friends and connections on the social websites that you use, sometimes called your social graph, belongs to you. No one company should own who you know and how you know them.

Yeah, but instead of putting your head in the sand, Six Apart is trying to raise awareness and let people take control of it. It's not like they're creating this information, they're just creating ways of letting you monitor and manage it.
Sorry to hear you're upset about the stats tracking on LJ. Just so you know, the stats app we're using is Omniture, which is just like Google Analytics or Hitbox, which millions of sites use. It's tracking information like your browser size and screen resolution, and unlike nearly every other site which uses these tools, we let you opt out. And we announced both the stats system and how to opt out on the community dedicated to announcing our business decisions. While I am sympathetic to the concerns you have here, I'm pretty confident we're head and shoulders above *any* community in terms of disclosure and user control here, and I'd love feedback if you've found a community that's doing more to inform users about these issues, so that we can do even better.

its exactly that, the consolidation of personal information to the point that its being held by someone else.
