6 of one... half dozen of the other. There are cases of misuse/abuse from corporate America as well.
Would you be less concerned about... - Having your billing/cs performed overseas (i.e. people overseas in other countries having access to your SSN) - Having corporate 'packet shaping', 'content filtering (yeah you, AT&T) - Companies selling your marketing info (to preferred business partners aka data miners) to keep your rates low. - Being part of a corporate run enterprise, which means you are a statistic, and we don't care as long as we make money from you.
OR - We are the government, ELECTED locally to run YOUR LOCAL Cable Co. - We keep rates low, because we're not out to make a profit.. our CEO is the mayor, not someone that flys over you, never to see what you (or your town) wants/needs. Besides, we can always raise taxes. - We are the government... NSA is part of our life... accept it and move on. |
