The Clooney Attack

Filed under: identity — April 3, 2006 @ 3:49 pm

George Clooney is upset at the Gawker Stalker web site for tracking celebrities by collecting information from the public. Clooney suggests Data Poisoning their site by submitting hundreds of bogus celebrity sighting reports.

I’m a big fan of Clooney’s latest films, but I didn’t realize he was this savvy about the Internet: its greatest strength — anyone can contribute — is also its greatest weakness. This is a perfect way to fight for privacy without over-legislating. Go George.
