Well pointed out PC guy!! I too, stand 100% by your concerns. More people should definately speak out about this issue. If not enough people start to educate themselves about this nastly not-so-little internet conglomorate and actively pursue its invesigation, then civil liberties as we know them will be a thing of the past.....thats is if they aren't deteriorated enough already. Considering that the disclosure of logs by the AOL was wrong, the EFF is ready and willing to battle AOL.
AOL did made some apologies, but no official statement was given. For this, EFF is asking your help to make the things right.
Two questions, if you are an AOL user, have to be answered by yourself: Were you one of the AOL customers whose personal data was exposed? Was a friend or family member?
You can contact AOL and do the following:
1. First, ask to be informed if you were one of the AOL members affected by the leak.
2. Second, say that you’d like AOL to stop keeping these kinds of logs.
3. Third, say that AOL should work with Congress to make stronger laws to protect the privacy in data collected by Internet companies.
4. Fourth, ask to be contacted when AOL decides to take action on these problems.
After you get their response, you can log it their answer on the EEF website:

EFF didn’t said what they will do with the information but they were the ones that defended three news websites that focused on Apple related products and news. Apple took the websites to court over leaked product information but consequently lost the case. Bad move Apple.
Do something and make your voice heard.
