There's already a cure for cancer. It's called body alkalinization. Get your blood pH up and the cancer cells will die.
The only reason people don't know about it is because pharmaceutical companies are making shitloads of money pushing treatments to let this dirty little secret out.

If it is done without consent (howeverso grudgingly obtained in a lopsided bargaining session), then it is a violation of labor laws, and your employer can be prosecuted.
If you agree to it as a condition of employment, then there is nothing you can do about it.
If it's an unconscionable contract you can probably sue.
Actually, with the government our data might actually be SAFER. Because then it has to abide by the 4th amendment.
UPS, FedEx, and DHL are free to snoop around in your packages all they like, because they are private entities. The USPS, on the other hand, being a government agency doesn't have that privilege. If they want to snoop in the mail, they have to get a warrant first.
The same thing would probably apply with government run networks under wiretap regulations.

Why don't the farmers turn around and sue Monsanto for contaminating their crops?
The farmers didn't exactly ASK to have their crops crossed with laboratory grade hybrids.
There is no such thing.
People tend to consolidate power and corrupt. And any government strong enough to "stop" it will themselves fall victim.
Which leads me to conclude what I have known all along.
Humans are selfish beings that are happy to sell out to anything if the price is right.
Corruption is a simple side effect of mankind's inherent priority in "looking out for number one"

Not to mention letting the big guys get free sex whenever they want.
It has nothing to do with privacy.
It has everything to do with misappropriation of company property for personal usage.
The judge should be charged as an accessory to any prison rape that happens as a result.

A free market is a democracy, not an anarchy.
Without a strong government to referee things you wind up with the biggest bruisers running the show in the form of trusts.
UPSs don't last forever. Typically they only give you 15 minutes of power. A sufficiently long blackout will take down even the biggest UPSs.
How about games with obscene DRM that requires you to have an internet connection to an auth server before you're allowed to play?
