Subject: Pr*v*cy on 60 Minutes
Many will have seen this on 60 Minutes over the weekend.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-data-brokers-selling-your-personal-information/

I'm not a big fan of the 60 Minutes style of journalism by cliche, but
I had just been saying to friends that it was time post-Snowden to let
the other shoe drop and talk about non-governmental collection and
exploitation of data.  Is there a third shoe?  Well, sure, it would be
the collection and exploitation of personally identifiable data by and
for non-US interests, both government and commercial.  I'm proud to be
a good American and believe that the NSA does a better job of invading
my privacy than anybody else, but I've been wrong about stuff like
that before.
