Re: DataCenter said by vpoko:Concern about one doesn't preclude concern about the other.
Both the government and private companies have a documented history of misusing information to go after citizens. It doesn't take a tin-foil hat to assume that it could happen again given the history.
Indeed, however one is accountable to the American people the other is not.
For obvious reasons, data-mining is heavily regulated in developed nations and you can opt to have all of your information removed when you seize doing business with a company. Moreover, you can opt-out of having any sort of data about you stored by third-parties. |

Boston, MA | And you should be able to do it here. You won't hear me defending companies' data collection policies.
But on the government end of things, accountability is tough when people aren't given information on what the government is doing. I'm not naive, I realize that certain intelligence and law enforcement activities require secrecy. But if there is domestic electronic surveillance happening on a massive scale, and we don't know the extent of it, we can't exactly hold anyone accountable. |
