    a long-awaited privacy bill Wednesday that would allow U.S. businesses to share information about customers who have not explicitly forbidden them to do so.

    Shouldn't it be the 'Lack of Privacy Bill' rather than 'Privacy Bill'?

    Okay... I am officially telling ALL businesses, I explicitly forbid them to share information about me. I really mean it, even though I didn't log on with my account.. Furthermore I expect that since I had to read slashdot to find out about this privacy invasion, I expect *all businesses* to read this post. Now all anyone has to do is claim the above message as Their Own(TM), and there is no way a business can say they weren't told.
