RE: Privacy vs. digital age: Where's the balance?

@terry flores that is possibly the most coherent and therefore frightening explanation i've seen.

So perhaps the most effective counterattack is at the nexus of this unholy alliance... to dispense with the stupid idea that corporations are people and can lobby the government, to cripple the nanny state so that there's less incentive to lobby, and to institute a wall of separation between government and business at least to the same degree as we separate government and religion. For starters, i mean.

I wouldn't trust any federal privacy laws because as it is, they're written by corporate interests. If Congress came out with the Protect People's Privacy Act of 2012 i think it would scare the poo outa me because i know it would do the exact opposite.
