Private data bunkers On the other hand are the data bunkers of the private sector, whose position is different. Although these are fast-growing engines of data collection with a much greater degree of dynamism, they may not have the same privileged position - although one has to differentiate among the general historical and social conditions into which a data bunker is embedded. For example, it can safely be assumed that the databases of a large credit card company or bank are more protected than the bureaucracies of small developing countries. Private data bunkers include Banks Building societies Credit bureaus Credit card companies Direct marketing companies Insurance companies Telecom service providers Mail order stores Online stores browse Report: Data Bodies     Global data bodies - intro  ... -3   The plastic card invasion -2   Data bunkers -1   Bureaucratic data bunkers 0   Private data bunkers +1   Global hubs of the data body industry +2   Databody convergence +3   Databody economy and the surveillance state      ...

It is mostly used by international people who want to demonstrate a certain consciousness about the conflict including some sort of neutrality, believing that neither the one side nor the other (and maybe not even NATO) is totally right. Using the word Kosov@ is seen as a symbol of peace. For more explanations (in German) see: http://www.zivildienst.at/kosov@.htm http://www.zivildienst.at/kosov@.htm
