Oh, My!
A government website is monitoring its performance, and separating clients by gender and other demographic data. Disclosed in the same boilerplate privacy policy everyone ignores.
Shared with outside companies skilled in analyzing such data to evaluate response.
Big Brother, NSA, 1984!!
It’s all over, Man!
Yeah, it’s all over. Everybody has been doing similar stuff for years. Private companies use it to tailor online ads to users interests. How sinister.
We need to give a shit about stuff that matters, not this stupid drivel.

Paragraph 2, Sentence 1? Nope…
The scope of what is disclosed or how it might be used was not immediately clear.
Paragraph 4, Sentence 1? Nope…
There is no evidence that personal information has been misused.
Paragraph 20, Sentence 1? Nope…
Third-party sites embedded on HealthCare.gov can’t see your name, birth date or Social Security number.
And the worried old farts?
Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa…
Enough said.
