Ed Markey - MyMagic+ at Disney

Brian Noble said:There isn't much basis for "government" to look into this, as there are few laws that compel any entity to respect the privacy of personal data.

Not to get all conspiracy theorist on you, but there's very little incentive for the US government to do anything about it. The telecoms lined up to provide the government with all the warrant-free personal customer info they wanted after the Patriot Act was passed. There's no reason to believe other industries with copious amounts of personal data haven't/won't do the same. The government doesn't need to follow the playbook out of 1984, private industry has already done the work for them.

Is Disney obligated to reply to this?

Only if Markey can get the 25,000 signatures on the White House petition site... ;)

I take back what I said about Markey; I hope he stays around and keeps doing what he does. We need people like that as an example.

Can't tell if serious...

Example of what? Complete buffoonery? I thought the majority of Congress fit that description. Just how many examples do we need?

The link didn't work for me. I am concerned with privacy rights and I don't think corporations should be collecting information they don't need, especially with kids.

The "Congressional Bi-Partisan Privacy Caucus"? And people wonder why we're $16 trillion in the hole.

Hmm...6 years and we've added $6 trillion to that figure. Go us.

We have the best debt, you wouldn't believe. Everybody knows.

It's yuuuuge.
