There is a balance between collective rights and individual rights, swing too far one way and you get a ton of crap in return.
Those numbers are ridiculous. If you don't understand how to put context on statistics, don't use them.
Just because 5 million people are subject to this, it does not mean all 5 million are super angry about it. The only evidence being tendered is anecdotal. Which basically means nothing. And it's more than 26,000, but putting that aside, it's just starting up in like the last week really. So you wanna put a super early running total against POSSIBLE dissatisfaction amongst a small percentage of the population? Man, you've never worked in anything that requires facts and peer review, have you? lol.
Stop repeating talking points and take a look at what info is actually requested. And you really think banks don't get hacked on the regular all over the world? Come on now. The firms they hire to provide security are getting trolled like crazy all day every day. Like I said before, this is a transitional phase, and it's gonna be messy. With the ACA and with humanity's move into the digital world in general. Most people never even logged onto the net till the late 90's. Kids may think it's the norm, but those of us old enough to have used a rotary telephone should know better. This is all very new to the human experience. Are you aware of the problems that were caused by the wire, the telephone and other devices used for long distance communication? You should look into it, it's a fascinating history. Or you can just rail out right wing talking points, I guess.
