1. The segment on shopping surveillance is astounding(Target HomeDepot/etc)

They track you from the parking lot, your movements inside the store, and use software to analyze your movements and mark you with a giant red circle on screen if your movements meet past behavior characteristics that they want to zero in on.

Restaurants doing the same thing.

7. Our 'government' allows our private info to be sold

DU Post -FTC under fire as credit bureaus sell consumers' data

All three credit bureaus are selling consumer data. First, the 'government' shutdown local credit bureaus, for our 'protection'. Now, our credit information sits in databases overseas and is controlled by three companies.

No oversight whatsoever to protect our privacy.

Need to correct bad information? Tough luck.
