The New York Times, fresh off of exploiting AOL's invasion of its users' privacy by hunting down an AOL user and profiling her, has rediscovered its passion for privacy. Since Saturday, the paper's tech section managed to print four stories about the concept of online privacy:

  • On Saturday, the Times taught readers how to hide their identities on the Internet. [NYT]
  • The same day, it told everyone their lives were "open books." [NYT]
  • Monday brought the threat of camphone-wielding tabloid reader-reporters. [NYT]
  • Finally, today, the Times reveals that we can all blame the advertisers. [NYT]

What new angle will they think of next?
