News.com is reporting that a judge has tossed out a privacy lawsuit against Northwest airlines. The plaintiffs claimed that their privacy was violated when Northwest gave their information to the government. From the judge: 'Although Northwest had a privacy policy for information included on the Web site, plaintiffs do not contend that they actually read the privacy policy prior to providing Northwest with their personal information. Thus, plaintiffs' expectation of privacy was low.'

So basically that judge just established that if you don't read an agreement (that you are supposed to) then the terms of agreement don't apply to you.
So I guess this makes the "Terms of Service" or "Terms of Use" links posted at the bottom so many corporate websites unenforceable now eh?... well, if you, the user, didn't read them anyway.
