Your voice was heard. Tuesday, US District Court Judge Louis Stanton signed off on an agreement by all parties in the lawsuit to allow Google to remove the names and identifying computer numbers of YouTube users from information it will provide Viacom, according to court documents. According to the agreement filed in New York federal court, the defendants shall substitute values while preserving uniqueness for entries in the following fields: User ID, IP (Internet protocol) address and visitor ID. YouTube is to assign each user a unique number so that individual viewing patterns can be determined without necessarily being able to figure out who viewers are. As they say, we have won the battle, but not the war. Keep up the support for our privacy.
