Congress Concerned about Privacy: Silk Browser - Page 3

A lot of big name sites already use amazon's servers. If they are concerned about privacy they should turn off their own modems, stay home & lock the doors. Privacy is a delusion.

I, too, am intensely apathetic towards my rights.

Surely big companies know what is best for me; because I accept that I am a peon and utterly worthless, I've been told that I'm part of the 99% and should not expect better.

Good, glad someone knows their place!

Not a delusion, but something you have to pay for...In time and money. Most people today don't/won't bother.

That's their business...

We're not talking about the kind of underwear you wear. We're talking about credit cards, log in's, checking accounts, blah, blah. I'm not saying you should just hand it over. But it's already out there. All you can do is be aware of what you are doing. When I tell someone to buy something from amazon or iTunes they ask is it safe. Sure it's pretty safe, they take a lot of measures to ensure that. Then I ask what safety measures are take. When they hand over their credit card to some under paid waiter & ihop who disappears wi it for 5 minutes. See my point. We hand out our information everyday.

I have to say whether he is currently well informed or not, this guy in Congress standing up for consumer privacy and demonstrating interest in doing something to protect consumers goes a long way to making me feel like our generation maybe has a chance not to really screw up the next 300 years with stupid stupid laws, like for example SOPA.

If the guy is misunderstanding something, I think it would behoove us to contact him and explain to him how his stance could hinder rather than help, or more specifically to guide him into a place where his workday efforts will prove beneficial to more than just some pr guys name-recognition chart come election time.

There are so so many lawmakers who coddle the deep-pocketed lobby corporations, who support ... yadda yadda I'm not trying to be on a soapbox, but do think its worthwhile to say, maybe give the guy some credit?
