So when do we see a similar vote to rein in corporate and other private entity data gathering? Or are we all conservatives here?

  First things first. If anything, this is making a lot of people more aware of privacy issues, and that may eventually spread beyond just the NSA.

  Of course corporate entities should not be getting away with anything you haven't agreed to let them do. People need to become more aware of what they're agreeing to when they use any service. You can try to inform them, but you can't think for them, and you can't act for them. At some stage, they need to make an effort. But the difference with something like the NSA is, you can't opt-out of what they're doing. With a company, you can take your business elsewhere. This isn't so easy with the government, unfortunately.
