75. Wrong again. You are confusing trust with the knowledge that the reality is there ARE tools that can

be used to hold one of those entities accountable.

The law has no jurisdiction over politicians who lie to get themselves elected. Maybe it should.

You are confusing 'trust' with a reality that is pretty obvious. I have tools with Verizon which I can use due their violation of their own Privacy Agreement with me. They published that agreement in order to help their business. They violated it. Now they can be held accountable.

I have no recourse with a politician who breaks an agreement in order to get my vote. It's simply my loss.

If you think that reading a Privacy Agreement to make sure that you are willing to agree with the practices of a business means you 'trust' them, then I can't help you.

I trust neither, which is why I read Privacy Agreements, Corporations or Politicians anymore. I used to, but not any more. But with one I can get accountability.
