[Am-info] Hotamil silently changes user preferences

[Roy Bixler]

This story involves personal privacy settings in Hotmail accounts and
silent addition of preferences which are "yes" by default and give
Hotmail "permission" to share users' information with its marketing
partners.  So far, it looks like the only Microsoft responce to this
is that "users signed up for this."  I wonder if it also affects their
paying MSN.com customers.
