I suppose the big empty space on the right is where "Respects users' privacy in their own business practices" should be.

But of course this is only about the Big Bad Government.

It's an interesting cultural difference how privacy suddenly becomes in issue in the US now that it's about the government, and totally fine when people were being tracked an profiled for profit.



There's a key difference.

When it's the government, there's a chance a big black van will pull up next to you and haul you away for the rest of your life.

A corp is likely just trying to manipulate you into buying their worthless junk. Not good, but at least you're not dead or imprisoned.


You're [dead], create a new account. I don't know why you're banned, your comments are mostly pertinent and not boring. Maybe the admins don't like Europeans ^^.
