I remember we talked about this in class so of course I wanted more information, so I read the article. I can't imagine being violated the way these people are. Drug producers are going into private conversations and getting information on peoples private matters about their health. Its terrible, some companies are selling this information to other companies. Its horrific to know that your not safe on the web even if you log in with a password.

When i wanted more information on this i went to WIKI!!! It was actually very helpful in defining this idea more thoroughly. Its not a person doing this, but the actual website.

A scraper is a website that takes your personal information, such as passwords, cellphone numbers, addresses, and sells them to companies who want to spam you.
