Sure, it's okay for them to have privacy,, but not for us. (These two articles were side by side in the NYT today. Don't tell ME they don't have a sense of humor.) And it's not so much that I'm online looking for anything as exciting as rent boys, and I'm pretty sure they haven't singled me out for surveillance. But when they are data mining, who's to say how anything will be construed? Particularly when you think about some of the weird stuff that turns up even in the blandest google search, it's obvious that individual bits of information get combined in strange ways.

Anyone who is surprised that they are wiretapping and data mining for all they're worth sure wasn't paying attention.
