Ed Mierzwinski: Banks, Not CFPB, Spy on Consumers

Ed's excellent post is here.  Those who purport to be so concerned about the privacy of bank customers should seek to amend the Gramm-Leach-Bliley privacy provisions to bar banks from selling consumer information unless their customers affirmatively opt-in to the sale of that information. But that would mean supporting consumer protection, precisely what the CFPB opponents do not want.
