SafeWeb Dumps Free Online Privacy Service

Thanks Russell for this one :)

Many faithful users have contacted SafeWeb suggesting they would pay to use the privacy technology again. But SafeWeb is focusing its energy on creating a new, different product. Surfers who value their privacy have lost an ally with SafeWeb"s suspension of its free anonymous Web-surfing service. The service, which PC World editors recently picked as a "Best of the Web" service, stopped functioning November 14, according to a company spokesperson. A series of events -- ranging from economic woes to Internet service provider problems -- has led to the company canceling the free service, although there"s a small chance SafeWeb will launch a subscription-based one in the future.

"One thing is clear, the free service is over. Period," says Sandra Song, a SafeWeb spokesperson.
