"A simple boycott will not suffice this time. We need legislation, strong legislation, out-and-out prohibiting this kind of data collection and storage without the express and unambiguous permission of the purchaser, and we need to demand that consent be requested and delivered in language understandable by a larger segment of our society than law students (no thirty-page disclosure forms written in legalese)."


Might I add that this granting of permission/consent should not be a requirement to using said device or else it's the same thing that poster said but it's the corporation saying it, "don't agree then don't use it". You will get left behind in today's high tech society not using this technology. A lot of people's livelihood depends on their using it.

Ye, we need legislation to put a stop to this and to protect our basic right to privacy from corporations. After all, they ARE the government now.
