It's not really about privacy though, it's about AOL's right to use the message contents.
Everyone should know that IM services are not private. They never have been!
If you use OpenPGP over Jabber you're pretty safe, but the other four IM services are different.
All AOL are really saying now is that they have permission to copy around your messages as if they're AOL's property. So the real outrage is, if you sent work material over it, AOL would have permission to send around your company information.  |
