I think there are a lot of people here whose employment depends on being able to sell and buy peoples data freely. Many of the people here who work for these companies truly and honestly believe the online services they are offering are/will change the world for the better. As such, they view hindrances to this as threatening to the progress they are trying to help bring about. Personally, I support this privacy initiative and think SV companies are many times viewed through rose tinted glasses by their employees, but that's just my perspective. I can totally see how viewed through the lens of a hindrance to progress, some people would feel very strongly that I'm wrong in supporting such legislation.
