With the dramatic rise in identity-theft and cybercrime in general, data protection laws have been popping up at the Federal level and in all 50 states. Because many of these laws are new, few businesses are aware of their compliance requirements. Too many businesses are violating the citizen rights .

I reluctantly voted YES not because I delude myself that government has any desire or even ability to protect our privacy (or that this is an area where they should be involved) but rather I am voting AGAINST the even more distasteful and absurd alternative offered, that media companies can be trusted in any way to act on our behalf if it in any way constrains their profitability or their ability to guide and perhaps constrain social discourse, should they choose to do so. Doing ANYTHING online is sort of like going out in public without any pants on. If you don’t want the world to see, DON’T DO IT! That’s just common sense.

The real problem is that companies require social security numbers for too many things, By Federal Law Social Security numbers are to be used for IRS Tax reporting and Social security benefits only punishable by $10,000 fine and five years in Federal prison, Too many people give out private info when they should not. Social media is a disaster why people use it is beyond common sense you have to be a mental midget to use social media

We, as citizens, need also to do our part… and NOT broadcast items in public media that can come back to haunt us — not post compromising photos — and not post photos of us out of town until after we return — we give evil folks ammunition to hurt us or rob our homes.

These are not adequate answers. The companies need to be more transparent and specifically tell users their exposure level when using social media. Then let the user beware. Did people really think these companies were providing the service and making billions out of the goodness of their hearts? And the government?!?!?! Really? Sure they can be trusted with our most intimate information, oh, say, about health care…no wait a minute, they couldn’t run an efficient anything to save their lives…or ours.
The real answer is to get off all social media which are no more than time sucking, brain deadening wastes of our time and intellect. The companies will feel the pain of their transgressions if people quit them en masse. We don’t need them or their “services”. The influence we’ve allowed them to have is appalling.

I voted “no”, because we already have more than enough “government” –how much would it cost to enforce such laws? How much good have the do-not-call rules done us? People will find ways around such government rules–they always do. But in the meantime there’s been another government agency created, another load of government workers, etc.,etc. And one more way to spend tax dollars on less important things. There are already remedies for protecting your financial information, and, frankly, anyone dumb enough to put very sensitive information onto social media, or to answer intrusive inquiries, needs to learn how to live carefully in the electronic age.
Sorry- that’s rough- but we need to take care of ourselves a little better and not expect someone else to do it for us.

If conservatives are for smaller government, then why would they want the government to intervene. It’s a fact that the government has access to our most private things. Our medical records, financial records and whatever else we THINK is private, it’s not. If the media is controlled by the government the pandora box is opened. The media should be accountable to their customers/clients and if they won’t protect EVERYONE from invasion of privacy, we have the right to pull the plug on them. In my opinion, I’m against any more government infringement.

As Hank says, these are the wrong questions. First of all, the govt has no business doing anything to protect user data over social media. If anything, they have shown themselves to be completely untrustworthy, designing laws that they can use to abuse our trust. Second of all, the big corporations can not be trusted to protect user data, especially when they work hand in hand with the govt to provide private information when asked or use the information to target information to you and track what you are doing. It is up to the public to be vigilant (remember that quaint concept of personal responsibility?) instead of running to the govt to solve your problems. Create watchdog groups that can certify the security claims of social media. If you find out that a company is abusing your privacy, then stop using their services, tell the company why you are no longer using their services, and find social media that advertise and certify that your data will remain private.
