Yahoo Inc. applauded the report." yeah right
personally I think reguation is much needed since these companies think they rule
the world, have every right to take anything they want, are totally without morals so

consumers just won't conduct business with businesses that don't respect privacy.
if had to choose between company that has strict privacy policy i'd do business with the business that respects for privacy.
bank privacy...many wealthy individuals or entitities with large sums of money moving their money overseas because of lack of financial privacy in the US..it's none of the gov't business how much money a person has,,really. google has all it's money in ireland. google's money is not even in the US banks.
banks have to report any transaction over $10,000 since anti-terrrorism bills to gov't regulators...and does it cost money and not one single convictino for money laudering or anything. there is just no banking or securities privacy. as for the exchanges they sell data. like for profit,,the exchange makes money on selling data. the gov't makes money selling statistics or selling data.
