I find the topic of internet "privacy" to be an interesting one. Most people here realize that the things we say online under our various identities
are not "really" private but we do have at least some hope that our internet and email providers will withold our information from other interested
parties.
What I find disturbing is the trend that in many cases a loss of such "privacy" is "a necessary evil of doing business in foreign lands". It is easy
for us to say "well, sure thats happening in another country, we have our freedom of speech here".
With some of the new laws we are seeing in the US (HR 1955 for example), it would seem that it is really not so farfetched to imagine this same
scenario as in India unfolding here on American soil.
