This agreement SOUNDS good, but my immediate image was the Happy Days episode where Fonzie was teaching Richie how to act like a tough guy: the attitude, the talk, the walk, the posture. It goes ok for a while, but eventually doesn’t work out. Then the Fonz tells him at some point he has to actually pop someone.

Warnings and agreements are a fine step, but there have been and continue to be egregious and widespread privacy violations, including identity theft, due to ignorance, gross negligence and willful malfeasance.
I keep waiting for an Attorney General somewhere, sometime, to develop the huevos to actually pop some company for privacy violations.  Maybe Kamala Harris will be the one to do it.

A move in the right direction.
At least it means that these companies have recognized that people want their privacy maintained.

This stands in contrast to those like facebook and to some degree google who fundamentally believe there should be no privacy or anonymity.

People need to keep up the pressure to enact more privacy legislation.

I hate these industry-generated pledges.
They become the gold standard, then the gold standard becomes law, but then someone finds a way to circumvent the letter and intent of the original pledge, and the industry, courts and legislators shrug.

How about a law that says “if you take other people’s personal information, by whatever means, we’re going to hang you by the balls.”
