government and businesses properly safeguard people�s private communications and financial information

Wow! Have I got some great examples of the government safeguarding "private" information. Businesses don't have a good track record either. I should do a post on this...

All the dancing around this issue won’t fix it. When such as this becomes prohibitively dangerous for them to do, they will hide it better. Hiding it doesn’t sound like a win until one realizes that they cannot then use it as justification for taking ever more power without exposing the fact they are doing it.

Until we decide to not be sheep and instead develop some teeth and the will to use them we will be the ones eaten.

“a top intelligence official says it is time that people in the United States changed their definition of privacy.”

Who the hell is this cull to decide what constitutes privacy? I’ll bet that HE would’nt want anyone invading HIS privacy!

RE: it doesn't mean what you think it means Wow, it's like it's 1993 all over again.

"Privacy no longer can mean anonymity"

Wow, talk about your NewSpeak. RE:telecom companies immunity Threat Level has been covering this extensively. There are some eye opening graphs here. There's some coverage of Mark Klein and his insight on how throughly the FedGoonz are scraping teh web of 'net, looking for the terrorists, and monitoring those who would protest against honey-baked hams Lean Left covers the "immunity for telco corporate-personhood thingys" and manages not to say "Democrats", (To be fair, there also isn't a reference to Republicans either). Telco Immunity is something we can't just let slide by. with broad based bipartisan congress-critter support.
