As if online privacy has just begun to be an issue...

I thought this type of event would have been one to rile you up a tad, Unsung.

This remark seems to be a bit of a defence. You've tipped your cap somewhat.

Never claimed to be one, try and keep up.

I e-mailed my senator Toomey about this, got a BS response back saying why he supported it, I think he blamed Obama somewhat for putting this in motion. Oh btw he also took $144,000 to vote this way. There's a site that shows how much each Senator and House member took to vote to approve this. Check it out:

Sounds like a great idea. I skimmed through the bill and didn't see how this would be tracked or regulated to keep companies honest. I'm picturing getting some random check in the mail for $1.00 and being like, WTF? Almost like a royalty check for my name and info

It would be great if it was just a line item on my internet bill:
$35 internet services
-$5 selling your porn watching data to Sony Music
$30 due

That would be great! If my data has value, then I should be compensated for it, or in lieu of direct compensation receive a subsidy or discounted rate from my ISP.
