We all know APC was bought by Internet Brands last year.

My question: How much do we really know about Internet Brands and what they do with the information (and your personal information) posted here? I am concerned about a potential link between Internet Brands and major airline management, particularly since IB owns Flyertalk, pprune, and this site.

It seems like IB could make a lot more than advertising money by dealing with a labor consultancy group or otherwise selling information to major airline mangement personnel to assess the pulse of a particular the pilot group, particularly during negotiations.

That and the recent changes to the privacy policy have me concerned.
