| I think the first commenter on the site said it all : "the systematic exploitation of private personal information by corporations and government is the modus operandi of a surveillance / police state. Already this is being abused for corporate espionage, political benefit, and a host of criminal enterprises. The manufactured pretext that all these erosions of privacy are ok because "we found bad guys" has been the same bogus justification for every single abuse known to history. A simple extension of this illegal principle in practice means privacy and Constitutionally protected rights are null and void. Jobs! Fraud! Crime! "We'll keep you safe!" "We'll save insurance companies money!" "We'll catch criminals!" They don't mention that they'll abuse this in an untold array of intrusions and privacy violations... for their commercial and political benefit." |
