BRUSSELS — The European Parliament narrowly (285 vs 281 votes) adopted a nonbinding but nonetheless forceful resolution on Thursday urging the 28 nations of the European Union to recognize Edward J. Snowden as a "whistle-blower and international human rights defender" and to shield him from prosecution.
On Twitter, Mr. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked documents about electronic surveillance by the American government, called the vote a "game-changer."
But the resolution has no legal force and limited practical effect for Mr. Snowden, who is living in Russia on a three-year residency permit. Whether to grant Mr. Snowden asylum remains a decision for the individual European governments, and thus far, none have done so.

Perfectly Horrible paste job.
Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this
Act shall be construed to provide new or alter any existing
authority for an entity to sell personal information of a
consumer to another entity for marketing purposes.
No new authority to sell information. The existing consumer protection rules, which have been tightened over time, still prevail.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
