> There is no right to have your interactions with a company (1) remain private, nor should there be.

Why should two entities not be able to have a confidential interaction if that is what they both want? Certainly a court order could supersede such a right just as it could most others provided sufficient evidence. However I would expect such things to be both highly justified and narrowly targeted.

This specific case isn't so much about a right to privacy as it is a more general freedom to enter into contracts with others and expect those to be honored.



Hey man, wanna buy some coke? How about trade secrets? State secrets?
