Forget 'privacy' rights...the battle is over. They've offshored your info

and you can't do anything about it.

Oh, sure, Sen Feinstein tried to do something, but as you can read, the Bush Administration isn't about to let consumers have any rights to their own information !

And Total Information Awareness is now renamed and gone to the Bahamas

along with all of your financial and health information.

In fact, the funandgames has already begun

They tell us now that the Federal Trade Commission is looking out for us....but the cows are already out of the barn.

at CGCS had a whole topic dropped cuz the moderator didn't feel good about it. Yes, the Markey bill...so much for GOP concerns about offshoring our personal and financial data. Once the banks got ahold of it it became "their" information to trade. Glass/Stegall's demise brought this all about, Congress got big payoffs both Dems and Reps but mostly the Reps. Sooooo sad and disgusting.
