First of all, let me apologize for not being more charitable with my assumptions.

As to the actual point, WSJ has a paywall in place which they deliberately open to let Google through. Not just Google's crawler, but visitors using Google's search page as a referrer.

It's quite different than AT&T being incompetent or negligent with their customers' private info. WSJ is the owner of the content and they are making a strategic decision to allow this behavior.

Again, I wish I hadn't been rude. It would have been nicer to have this exchange without it.
