I was reading this news article from /. about a new law that would allow users to get access to all the data about them a company has:

> New California Ballot Measure Demands Groundbreaking Privacy Rights
> Supporters gathered 625,000 signatures to put the "California Consumer Privacy Act" on the ballot in November – far exceeding the 365,880 signatures needed to qualify. The Mercury News reports:
> The proposed initiative aims to allow consumers to see what personal information companies are collecting about them and ask the companies to stop selling that information, and also seeks to hold businesses accountable for data breaches. "Today is a major step forward in our campaign, and an affirmation that California voters care deeply about the fundamental privacy protections provided in the California Consumer Privacy Act," said Alastair Mactaggart, the San Francisco real estate developer who is bankrolling the measure. He has spent $1.65 million on the effort, according to filings with the California secretary of state.
SAN FRANCISCO! Argh! So, immediately I think "west coast SJWs", and realize pic related (downvoted invisible) was right.
Imagine EXTREME DOX - Doxers impersonate someone and get companies to give you all the data they have on that target. Imagine all your email being puked out to whomever can answer B.S. "forgot my password" questions. The SJW doxers would go nuts with this new law. Why is it every damn law that says it will achieve one thing does the exact opposite? If I didn't know better (and I don't) I'd think it was all according to keikaku.
Damn, great vid. The war for comics may be turning to our side. Truth is, we already won. All the old media is a livingdead zombie and the only new media people like is uncontrolled.
