What about a Privacy Bill of Rights?



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

With the news of even more leaks of private information, isn't it time a serious Privacy Bill of Rights was addressed? I'm not talking about the wimpy bill that is currently being discussed which offers more carrot, less stick, but a real bill that will protect average citizens from this never-ending stream of bad news? The companies involved are raking in millions using private information yet they don't seem to give a damn about what happens to that data. Sure it's going to cost them money to set up proper security but doesn't anyone in Washington care about this constant loss of personal data which is so controlling in our lives?

I seriously doubt we will see anything because our both parties are in such a fight for campaign money, heaven forbid they actually do anything to block out a potential contributor so as always, the public gets nothing but talk, talk talk and both parties will continue to dial for campaign dollars.

Is there anyone in the DNC who can see this as a campaign issue? We're talking about hundreds of thousands of victims, that we know of so far.
