Why do our privacy watchdogs attack social networks, and once again, let financial institution, whose privacy practices are far worse, get away untouched? 

The other day, I got a letter from a financial institution I have an account with. 

Customer privacy and security have never been more important to us. We want you to know what we're doing to protect your privacy and keep your information secure … Following is a copy of our Privacy Notification.

For a moment I felt reassured to know that they really take my privacy seriously. Wouldn't you be? Well, At least until you read the rest of the letter

Is there anyone they will not share your private information with? In other words, they don't even try to hide that they care about your privacy as long as they don't find an opportunity to make money by not caring about it.

I hope that knowing that your privacy is in such good hands  makes you feel reassured.  And this happens in a society that brainwashes its citizens that socialism takes away your right to privacy.
