How We Lose Our Privacy Rights July 21, 2007

AP profiles the increasing use of RFID implants in human beings. It looks like if “Big Brother” comes, it won’t necessarily be a governmental “Big Brother,” it will be a corporate one, under the pretense of “business security.”
Since most corporations are private firms, it will be hard to combat it with the ethos of “privacy rights,” becuase (in theory) they’re private firms, and employees are willing participants. In reality, most Americans make a living by being somebody’s employee, and most of the time, that “somebody” is the agent of a big corporation, and therefore, to the average person, the power of the immediate supervisor exceeds that of the “big bad” Federal government. And policies that become standard fare for big corporations might as well have been enacted by a government.
