But that is just my point of view on the social welfare that I feel would be optimal.

It seems like he thinks the industry is better equipped to make the rules and he is right. Usually government just messes up everything when it comes to technology and privacy.

]]> <![CDATA[Schwarzenegger Vetos Data Protection Bill]]> The current Payment Card Industries (PCI) compliance standards, required for all online merchants that accept Visa and Mastercard, is more that sufficient in keeping personal information secure, but better enforcement of these rules and quicker disclosure by business that loose data is needed. If you look at the corporations that lost personal data in the last year and a half you will find the most were completely negligent and that usually just running some basic anti-virus software could have prevented the data breach.

]]> <![CDATA[Schwarzenegger Vetos Data Protection Bill]]> I'm going to take my spot on the other side of the fence. I'm all for data protection, I don't feel we need another unenforceable useless regulation.

Higher than Payment Cards standards? Isn't payment card standards only 2nd to say defense data and the secret recipe to Coca Cola? How much do you think it'll cost the tax payers to enforce such measures? I'm for consumer protection, but paying 42% of my income to taxes, I'm going to be agaist anything that

"Did you know that hackers stole 60 million credit cards? It happens all the time!" "This law will magically make identity theft retroactively null!"

The law was so broad and ridiculous and it would have opened businesses up to lawsuits that they didn't have any business being a part of in the first place.

He might try a run for senator, but with this kind of anti-consumer track record, HaHaHa!
Soon, but not soon enough, he'll be irrelevant!

P.S. Glad to tip another one this way.

]]> <![CDATA[Schwarzenegger Vetos Data Protection Bill]]> excessively costly and burdensome for small businesses.

How so? The article just says they can't keep certain types of information. I run a small SMALL business and it's no skin off my back to keep my records secure.

]]> <![CDATA[Schwarzenegger Vetos Data Protection Bill]]> What is it with California's government deciding that anything that has broad public support should NOT be implemented? I used to think CA had respect for its citizens' desires, even though I generally (but not always) find myself agreeing with Democrats' views -- not to start a partisan debate here; I think for myself, not toe the party line -- but more and more, and especially this week, they've been regressing downhill.

Like a national ID card with a RFID chip that transmits your information through the air. Now thats protection.
