My ISP has responded to concerns I addressed to them about my details on web pages being scanned when people other than me are reading them. Here is the response... Can it be right that I exclude details on a social networking site from being viewed by anyone but my accepted friends and that this leads to my ISP assuming "implied consent of
website owners such as Bebo etc"??

"we completely understand the potential concerns
of some website owners, who have sensitive/private/password protected
websites or areas on their website, and are taking the necessary steps
to ensure that password protected sites are excluded from this service
and no information will be scanned from these pages. We are also
excluding a range of more sensitive categories for example medical,
religious and gambling websites. Finally we are also taking steps to
ensure that those websites that do not want search engines to 'crawl'
them (by the use of robots.txt) will also be excluded from the Webwise
service. Otherwise we assume that we have the implied consent of
website owners such as Bebo etc."

Thoughts? Have I read it wrong? Am I misunderstanding the ISP's statement there?
