Public Sticky notes

Too much unnecessary data is collected by most sites, 90% requiring a full-name and DOB. Security practices are dreadful: no sites employed phishing countermeasures, and 80% of sites failed to protect password entry using TLS. Privacy policies were obfuscated and confusing, and almost half failed basic accessibility tests. Privacy controls were confusing and overwhelming, and profiles were almost universally left open by default.
