There's also contract law, and you probably agree to let them do this shit to you somewhere in the fine print. I agree that it's wrong, maybe there's some legal precedent for overturning certain things... but the bill of rights were restrictions on the government, not on businesses. perhaps the laws which apply to " utilities " ought to apply to banks and creditors, at least in regard to being unable to restrict access to their services and use information gathered on you.
You make a good point here. Contracts are to be understood by all parties involved. If contracts are law and if a law is written in language not understandable to the average individual, then the law is void. Therefore, contracts also must follow this legal axiom. The Terms and Conditions of many of these contracts are 'fine print'. This naturally falls in the area I mentioned. What's not easily seen is not understandable. In saying this, I think almost everyone would agree that these contracts and their voluminous Terms and Conditions should be treated as 'informed consent' much like experimental vaxβ xines are suppose to be.
