You volunteered. YOU used Google. YOU used any other website that installs cookies. It is no different than walking the street. People on that street know you are there. Any cop sees you walking by. Travel the same street over and over and that cop and the storekeepers will get to know you.

You want privacy? Stop walking the same street. Stop using the internet. Stay in your house. Never go outdoors. Of course you won't get ultimate privacy anyway because your neighbors know you are some kind of weird hermit that never leaves the house.

You know something odd about saying people can be rude to others if they feel like it. I lost a job that way. My coworkers didn't support a disabled Veteran having a family. But when I wanted one, I created a hostile work environment for them.
Even Christians told me that they couldn't allow me to have a family. Am curious at what point did their right to free speech take away my rights?
If people have nothing better to do than to bother someone else, they should get a life instead of saying free speech.
Had a friend from Spain who explained it to me. There used to be common law where people lived their own lives but that was replaced with corporate or as you say, business law.
Thing is, according to business law, has Trump done anything wrong? Can you prove intent? If not then when he cheated on his taxes, his wives and asked Ukraine for a favor, business law can easily be manipulated.
After all, when Trump and his sister increased charges billed to their father, supply and demand. Capitalism. That's actually allowed by law even though they were avoiding the gift tax by using a shell company. Business law can allow for children to overcharge their parent.
So when you say that people can be rude to people who don't want to be bothered by them, then people aren't free to live their own life but can only do what's allowed by any law that applies to a business. Kind of why I think the US is falling apart. As you say, corporate law gives people rights. It doesn't. It makes businesses people. Campaign finance laws have been changed to give corporations the same rights to contribute to campaigns as people.

For the line you are insisting on, there would be no Google. You couldn't look up any crockpot web pages to cut and paste anymore.

Search would be an extremely profitable business regardless of how many restrictions were put on it's business model. With no cookies at all you'd make a killing owning search. No reason Google needs extra favors as a business to invade privacy and cyberstalk everyone.

A modern remake of the '50s, but yeah. "We're corrupted." Wouldn't be out of sorts if the roulette wheels at Trump Entertainment Resorts have a lead ingot under the double zero, to make the ball land there a bit more often than it should.

I thought you were taking a break; I've been avoiding the Trump threads because they give me heartburn. Maalox already has several cookies on my computer.

Search doesn't need cookies. Turn them off in your browser if you're so paranoid about them.

If you don't like Google there are other search engines out there.

Such a wheel is easily caught by the local gambling authority. It would be extremely stupid to risk a license to print money casino license on such cheating techniques.

Trump isn't corrupted, and he isn't breaking any law.

Only the democrats give away 'free' stuff, and even then, it's not really free, is it? A web presence costs money, the more traffic on your site, the more you have to pay to support it. People are cheap, they don't voluntarily pay for anything, more than they need to. One way or or another, you have to pay-to-play.

I can honestly say Trump is the most traumatic thing to happen in my own life! Granted I've been pretty lucky not to have real trauma in the past but still, for a politician to make life such a nightmare is astounding. I think the worst is yet to come sadly. I should go watch Bob Roberts again, that was a great film.

What I don't like is lack of regulation. That applies to the entire market. Facebook is even worse.

The argument "if you don't like go somewhere else" avoids the actual discussion: Should we be making the rules and if so which ones?

Here's where you say everything an anarchist would say and call it capitalism.

HarveyH55 wrote:One way or or another, you have to pay-to-play.

So a private company creates a file on you Harvey. They record your SSN, and every personal detail about you they can find. They buy and trade your information with other companies to make your file more detailed and thorough. They don't protect the information and it's easily stolen. They sell your file to anyone will to pay. If you want the file deleted tough luck, they own it not you.

We can decide what rights we have in society. I don't want a file kept on me, I should be able to opt out. Better yet I think anyone should have to opt in.

You don't get to opt out, since you agreed to it, when you used their service, shopped at their webstore. This isn't a new concept, been around, before the internet. They use to mail out surveys, for which you get something 'free' for filling it out. There were 'sweepstakes' and contests. They at least got your name, address, and phone number, and permission to use that information as the pleased. Which usually was more junk mail, telemarketers, who paid for your information. It's not so much pulling the info out of the phone book, the value is in their list, is of people, who are known to respond, and the types of thing you respond to, or buy. On the internet, people give up a lot of marketing information. Social media is really just a goldmine for marketing and social research, and it's free. The DNA ancestor sites, are good too, people pay to learn their heredity, pay for too, which they sell to other people, who might be related. They sell to research, and law enforcement as well.

No, the argument here is that if you willingly agree to something then you should honor your agreement.

Conclusion: we should NOT change laws to enable the dishonest to weasel out of their valid, legal contracts and debts.

Well said. The promise of free stuff is a lie. None of it is free. This is also the promise of Utopia made by socialists and the lie behind it. The Utopia turns out to be a prison.

Amazon does have my SSN, but that's because I worked for them at one point. They are already under a variety of laws not to divulge that information except to the federal government as required by law.
