Consumer activists are pressing Congress for better privacy laws without much result so far. The legislators lean toward letting business people track our financial habits virtually at will.
As an example of what's going on, consider U.S. Bancorp, which was recently sued for deceptive practices by the state of Minnesota. According to the lawsuit, the bank supplied a telemarketer called Member Works with sensitive customer data such as names, phone numbers, bank-account and credit-card numbers, Social Security numbers, account balances and credit limits.
With these customer lists in hand, Member Works started dialing for dollars-selling dental plans, videogames, computer. software and other products and services. Customers who accepted a "free trial offer" had 30 days to cancel. If the deadline passed, they were charged automatically through their bank or credit-card accounts. U.S. Bancorp collected a share of the revenues. Customers were doubly deceived, the lawsuit claims. They didn't know that the bank was giving account numbers to Member Works. And if customers asked, they were led to think the answer was no.
The state sued Member Works separately for deceptive selling. The company defends that it did anything wrong. For its part, U.S. Bancorp settled without admitting any mistakes. But it agreed to stop exposing its customers to non-financial products sold by outside firms. A few top banks decided to do the same. Many other banks will still do business with Member Works and similar firms.
And banks will still be mining data from your account in order to sell you financial products, including things of little value, such as credit insurance and credit-card protection plans. You have almost no protection from businesses that use your personal accounts for profit. For example, no federal law shields "transaction and experience" information--mainly the details of your bank and credit-card accounts. Social Security numbers are for sale by private firms. They've generally agreed not to sell to the public. But to businesses, the numbers are an open book. Self-regulation doesn't work. A firm might publish a privacy-protection policy, but who enforces it?
Take U.S. Bancorp again. Customers were told, in writing, that "all personal information you supply to us will be considered confidential". Then it sold your data to Member Works. The bank even claims that it doesn't "sell" your data at all. It merely "shares" it and reaps a profit.
Contrary to popular belief, the author finds that spying on people's privacy______.
A.is mainly carried out by means of secret taping
B.has been intensified with the help of the IRS
C.is practiced exclusively by the FBI
D.is more prevalent in business circles

M: No way! That's awesome!
W: Yeah. She finally made it, and she certainly deserves it. She has been taking gymnastics classes seriously since she was a little girl, like since she was only 5 or 6 years old.
M: Congratulations! She must be one of the best gymnasts in your country.
W: No question about it.
M: I have heard that ancient Greek gymnastics training programs were designed for children too. And the programs were considered to be an integral part of the children's education.
W: I know. The ancient Greek people believed that gymnastics exercises were good for children. The type of exercises would facilitate unity of mind and body, and also harmonize the body's movements.
M: I am not surprised. Are the current gymnastics exercises the same as the ancient forms?
W: No, I don't think so. The ancient gymnastics was modernized in the 1800s. The modem format was developed by German and Czechoslovak educators. They invented gymnastics apparatus to develop self-discipline and strength of the body.
M: No wonder the German and Czechoslovak teams, had dominated the entire event in earlier days at the Olympic Games. Their gymnasts pretty much had swept every single medal at the Olympic competition. When was this sport first introduced to the United States?
W: Gymnastics was not introduced to the U.S. until the early 1830s. And in 1883, the Amateur Athletic Union, also abbreviated as AAU, was established. Since then the Union became very active and took over the control of all gymnastics activities in the U. S.
