&gt; I admit my post was more a personal complaint&#x2F;rant than a legal argument. I guess my concern isn&#x27;t so much about privacy as it is about the ability (or inability) to decide on at least a general level where to send information.<p>Just to clarify, I&#x27;m not trying to make it into a legal argument. I think your point is well-taken and widely shared. I&#x27;m trying to explain what forces are in play and why it&#x27;s so hard to make progress on what is a pretty prevalent vision of privacy in the tech community. It&#x27;s not just a tweek, we&#x27;re talking about retooling some pretty fundamental assumptions about the powers of government.
