Under CISPA, Internet corporations are authorized to hand over the private information of American citizens to federal agents, as long as they can justify the violation of your privacy in the name of protecting "cyber security." Among the items that may be shared are your e-mails, browsing history, and online transactions.

So why do the corporations have this recorded and available to begin with? I'm not concerned with them sharing the personal and financial records of my online behavior with the government because government is too big an clumsy to care or effectively infringe on my privacy----I mean REALLY intrude on me with THIS information.
It's really the media, advertising, insurance, banking, retail, entertainment, utility industries that feel the need to collect all this data so that they can exploit whatever economic opportunities can arise from SELLING this information------basically to each other.
My point here is in order to do.......ANYTHING, anywhere at any time in our economy we sign away these "rights to privacy" for our convenience and the corporations efficiency. They send us "PRIVACY STATEMENTS" that are bassackwards ways of telling us that they OWN EVERYTHING about us......and then some transparent BS about how they are restricted and respect our specific rights. You know, the rights they allowed your Democrats and Republicans to pretend to protect in the bogus, backward legislation that gave away all our rights in exchange for a privacy statement.
So I really don't worry about what the State of California, Uncle Sam the FBI, CIA and NSA will do with information that is ALREADY EVERYWHERE available to ALL the corporations and essentially ANY private interests they want to sell that information to. .............n'est pa?
Of course I may be wrong about all this. Those of you who read through each and every document in total before signing, or click---I AGREE--- to all the pop-up windows you have to deal with please correct me if I missed something by casually skipping over that.
