shortformblog: The anger over the revelation that hot social network Path uploads users’ entire address books to their servers continues at breakneck speed, with another network, Hipster, caught in the crosshairs for doing the exact same thing, and some saying that Path’s approach to data could run afoul of Euro data-privacy laws. One ZDNet writer puts it this way: “I’m getting off the Path until they delete ALL the data and start over.” yeah, that’s cool.
