    Question Somebody tell me about youtube.com.

    I was ready to sign up for youtube.com till I read the privacy poicy very carefully and followed the links to the list of partners they share info with.
    Here is the list:

    * 24/7 Real Media, Inc.
    http://www.247realmedia.com/privacy.html

    * Adbrite, Inc.
    http://www.adbrite.com/mb/privacy.php

    * DoubleClick
    http://www.doubleclick.net/us/corporate/privacy

    * Fastclick, Inc.
    http://www.fastclick.com/company/privacy.html

    * Google, Inc.
    http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html

    * TribalŪ Fusion
    http://www.tribalfusion.com/TribalFusion/privacy.html

    The only one here that doesn't bother me is Google. I don't know anything about Tribal Fusion. I do know that every one of the others have caused problems for me in the past. At the time I did not use SBSD or Spyware Blaster. I now use both as well as Hijack this.

    I'm wondering if aybody else out there is a subscriber to youtube and is successful at keeping these threats at bay? Talk to me. Thanks

    Default

    I'm a frequent YouTube user and I've yet to encounter any problems. You don't actually download anything other than videos on YouTube, so I don't see how they would screw around with you...

    Default It's deep in the privacy policy

    You have to go a couple of levels deep into their privacy policy to find the list. This was the list that youtube shares info with. Thanks for the input! How long have you been a user?
