So “Amy Bishop” is the third hottest search on Google right now according to Google Trends. Details are scarce but she allegedly shot three other faculty members during a U. Al. Huntsville biology department meeting?
Her husband, Jim Anderson, is a coauthor on a number of her recent papers. I’m not terribly impressed with anyone writing a letter like this?

Dear FTC,
Why should these companies be allowed to turn our computers into a Reality TV show for their pleasure? What is the legality of an individual or the Government doing this?
The government is not allowed to intrude on us without a court order. These companies (often foreign or foreign owned) should not have more rights to us than our own Government. The Constitution protects us from the Government, what protects us from these voyeurs?
High priced lobbyists are not a replacement for democracy. Our privacy needs armor plated protection.

You have done some excellent research, though I’m not quite sure what you mean by being not being impressed about someone writing to the FTC to protest spyware.

But since there is a question mark at the end of your statement, maybe it was not really a statement. I think the letter is fine and I’m glad so many people responded on that subject. In that era, (and maybe currently), many scientists felt uncomfortable about expanding federal and corporate powers. The “Strange Culture” documentary is a good starting point to understand that.
Here is an interview with the wife of a scientist who got caught up in that witch hunt.
