Disney and other top websites may be spying, alleges a case in Federal court

An argument going before Federal court in California claims that Disney and a number of other top websites, including sites by Disney, Warner Bros. Records, and Demand Media have broke the law and have been spying on and collecting personal information of it's users. Part of that group who were spied on were minors.

The case centers around Clearspring Technologies, a software maker that produced the very popular social media sharing product AddThis.

The case alleges that Clearspring Technologies helps it's clients spy on user activity beyond the allowable purview and gather more personal information on user activities.

It should be noted that Clearspring Technologies rival Quantcast also had a similar claim filed against them last month involving clients NBC and ABC.
