What is current privacy issue?

The Internet has changed the quantity and quality of data available about individuals' lives, but in many ways business practices and laws have not progressed to protect privacy.

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Congress of US has passed various laws expanding government surveillance powers and federal agencies have undertaken a number of initiatives that pose serious threats to privacy. At the same time, technology changes have outpaced legal limits on government access to private data, so that more information than ever before is available to the government under very weak standards.
