Companies Dinged on Web Privacy

From time to time I voice the opinion that corporations are simply not to be trusted to respect such things as personal privacy. I'd like to be able to say that this is merely blind prejudice, but sadly, it is an opinion based on cold hard fact (and, indeed, the myth that corporations can be trusted seems to me to be more like fantasy). Facts like this one: "a new study released this week shows that many major American companies misuse information they collect from consumers over the Web." The worst offenders? "Pharmaceutical and health care firms." Which is why I have been a firm opponent of private sector involvement in personal health care records.
