In my day job I work in the field of Data Privacy and Data Protection. It's a tedious business, but someone has to do it. Today I recieved the following (which I have snipped from a learned discussion group)
BEGINS
[snip]
I don't know if people picked up the gay-marriage-in-California issue a month or so ago (whether it should be legal or not). Well, notwithstanding that, the State of California has now put the names of all the people it did marry up for sale to marketers, on the basis that it's already public information (and no opt-out like the UK's electoral register, I bet!) [snip]
Now this will provide a major intrusion into innocent people's lives. There are deeply bigoted and crusading people in the USA such as http://www.godhatesfags.com/main/index.html who will almost certainly buy this list and make the couples' lives miserable.
ENDS
What scares me is that California will sell this list to all comers and the people who trusted the sanctity of their ceremony will be pummelled into the ground by bigotted swine. I don't know whom to protest to over this, but I leave it to you all to both pass this on and to bombard Arnie Anti Gay Marriage Schwarzenbugger with your thought
