For starters, companies should not be allowed to keep your credit card number after the transaction is completed. This is just asking for hackers. (the exception, of course, is when a consumer give permission... like in the case of Amazon or PayPal.)

Atheists aren't used to thinking God is watching over their shoulder, so they care more about their privacy. Bobo, you’ve got it backwards.

We do not have a europe-wide constitution yet although one is in the works. However almost all individual countries within the EU have their own cossitiution. However I yet again do not see the relevance of a constitution to protecting privacy! Once more I do not understand the relevance of guns to privacy, at least online. @ bobo

What does the fact that we have a high number atheists in europe have to do with privacy?

We do not have a europe-wide constitution yet although one is in the works. However almost all individual countries within the EU have their own cossitiution. However I yet again do not see the relevance of a constitution to protecting privacy!

Once more I do not understand the relevance of guns to privacy, at least online.

They're trying to something right. We can only hope that they push it through and enforce it THEN Google, et. al., decide it's just easier to do the same with people on this side of the Atlantic. Fat chance. But, I can hope. Good on them. They’re trying to something right.

Americans have no comprehension of the effects, cumulative or otherwise, of centuries of war on your homeland. Native Americans might; but, not your average WC. 2. Even if the odd American has bumped into enough history and politics to understand where the EU is coming from, let's face it, we probably couldn't get the Bill of Rights passed as a referendum, here, anyway.
