1. I should think that they'd have to have "standing"

Which probably means that they'd need to show that they'd been harmed by it. Which would be pretty impossible to prove. So I doubt the case, at this point in time, would get a hearing at the court.

But what do I know.

2. Good point - another area in which "we, the people" don't much matter.

3. There would be very few with access to that kind of information

4. Are you gathering data about us, OP?

5. LOL - and who are you selling it to?

7. I was going to suggest that

what with all the "polls" posted.

However, we should blame the system. I never vote in polls anymore, because now that names are displayed with responses, it's a way for other posters to track you. And then stalk. And then who knows what! We might have to flee.

6. Well, given that I won't store the data, does that count as gathering?

Not to mention, I rarely note who posts what, so at beat this is meta data!

On serious note, probably because i am bad at noting who posts what, I wanted to find out if this is a hot issue for many, or just for some.
