yea and they are making another email database just for voting. this is facebook in disguise

Everyone's banging on about privacy all the time.

Maybe it is important.

I don't see why I should care. The internet has never been without threats.

As long as you I can access information, and send emails, I'm not a drug dealer, so I don't see how these laws will affect my life.

Plus, who says people need laws to do things? Ie. bailing out the banks, can't people just do what they want?

Makes no sense:

Companies that we trust with our personal information, like Microsoft and Facebook, are key supporters of this bill

The internet has never been without threats.

And why could be?

As long as you I can access information, and send emails, I'm not a drug dealer, so I don't see how these laws will affect my life.

Every individual action affects the collectivity, and viceversa. Making nothing is doing something: do we have total control over our lives? Because doing nothing is allowing others to do something for us, and if others are doing something that affects us, good or bad, it means no, we don't have total control over our lives. So, unless you live on a cave: it affects you, maybe more than you could possibly realize.

What if there is people involved in that something that affects us? Because total control requires time, and understanding (maybe a lot), wich means the something will exists till we reach this control, and, if we depend one of the other, the approval of these laws interferes in the acts of this "drivers of the something", the good and the bad ones.

can't people just do what they want?

Hm.

That's my point exactly, I'm hoping someone can explain some of the real effects this will have on my life, rather than just repeating what I have just said - that I don't see how the laws will affect my life.

Now, does anyone know how these laws will affect my life?

(Abstract ramblings are cool and fun, but don't really answer my question.)

I just feel like its my right to live my life without anyone looking into it.

It has nothing to do with doing anything wrong, its just a massive invasion of my privacy. How can someone just decide one day, that they are able to look into my life if they wish.

Things like this just make me hate this world even more. I suppose I could remove myself from the internet, but my business relys on it so its not possible at this moment in time.
