> Don't understand why it bothers you. Big corporations have unfair advantage either way. Small players already need some special treatment to level the field. So to make it fair we should give small players special treatment while continuing to have big corps have no restrictions. Which small players get to receive the treatment? Why not make it simpler and have more restrictions on big corps? > But privacy is more about power and governments getting access to the data companies collect is the worst thing that could happen. I'm not sure I follow what you are saying. These companies at this point are bigger and more powerful than most countries below the G8. I have exactly the concern you are mentioning. While people generally like that google, apple, fb don't give data to the US government I can see it equally bad that they keep it to themselves and use it to leverage the government (they are already doing it with money).
