Are there web sites devoted to messing with the data collectors?

I have no idea but there ought to be.

I don't know what you think of Dick Morris but he is big on the whole privacy issue. I attended a talk he gave in my local town and his big issue was exactly the discussion we are having.

He believed that data privacy would be the next big issue on the scene. He was wrong, as 9/11 happened shortly after and then the economy tanked. But I think as things settle down, people will start to become concerned once again about their civil rights.

My data should be private. Fine, let the government have it for their legal purposes, but no marketing person, private detective, nosy web site database or even future employer should have access to any of it without my permission.
