Years ago when I was a kid, a friend of mine stole his older sister's diary. He leaked her secrets from the diary out at inconvenient times. Of course, these were things like when she was mad at her parents, boys she liked, what she thought of certain friends' clothes, etc. It was all a good laugh, really. Well, of course when their parents found out they rewarded my friend for divulging such crucial information, right?
For medical information there are privacy laws called HIPAA-Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Basically, protecting virtually any leak of personal medical information even if it's not intentional. Which is why we don't know what goes on in celebrity rehab clinics, unless, of course, they do their rehab on VH1.
Whenever banks and other financial institutions lose personal information, it is sure to make the news sending customers scurrying out to buy LifeLock coverage and any other security they can get their hands on. But why? What's the big deal? Who really cares if their employer knows about their calls to family crisis centers? Why shouldn't it all just be out there? I'm John Q. Public, a bankrupt, AA member. No one needs to know this do they?
But wait! Again, our friends from the PC left think the sex offender down the street should have their privacy, but Julian Assange is a hero. Assange, just like my childhood friend, is the spoiled little kid, pulling a prank, divulging ill-gotten information; information funneled to Wikileaks from a disgruntled gay Army private. Why on earth would anyone protect and view this brat as a hero? He is not a journalist-no protections exist, nor should exist, to him under American law. This is just another contradiction from the PC left. I can't wait until Michael Moore's personal medical and financial information is exposed.
