Don't entertain this garbage.

319. You may think that you are making choices

about what you want to reveal, but you really have no clue as to what companies do with the information that you reveal to them. You are certainly more invested into the privacy policy than most of us, I seriously doubt that the majority of people read every single word and understand most of what they are reading when they join political forums, Facebook, etc. While it is good to have "choices" there are instances where our personal choices are irrelevant if we want the government to protect us from the many factions that want to do harm to us.

What amazes me the most is that this has been going on for years, and now just because someone revealed that the Obama administration was requesting information from Verizon, everyone is up in arms over it. Where was the outrage when Bush was doing it? Apparently the majority didn't feel threatened or surely there would have been letters to Congress asking them to put an immediate stop to it. So, if it has been going on for years and nobody has had an "interesting" story to tell based on their phone number being captured, then I guess it's not worth losing too much sleep over it.
