Truste: Completely useless

There can no longer be any doubt, Truste, the self appointed privacy guardian is about as useful as a chocolate frying pan. The organization, which was founded by the big names of the web still has its seal placed on a number of large websites, from Facebook to Adobe.

The real problem is that it doesnt mean anything. Truste members flout the rules without any penalities, they break the law and disclose user information, and Truste says nothing. Why you may ask? Well because each of these organizations pays an astounding $10,000 per year to them.

Think about it, would you criticise your best clients?!

I would have to agree. About a year ago we went down the road and got Truste certified. They're checks were a joke, tick in the box stuff, they didnt even spot glaring mistakes in our privacy policy (spelling mistakes).

Anyhow, its a waste of money as far as I can see.
