WhoTube?
Following on from my earlier blog entry Do YouTube? it seems that Google and Viacom have come to an agreement.
The deal is that Google will make user information and internet protocol addresses from YouTube anonymous before handing over the data to Viacom in the US legal case.
Google has now agreed to provide Viacom, and a class action group led by the FA Premier League, with a version of a YouTube viewership database that removes user name and IP data that would identify individual users.
So your viewing habits are safe… for now.
