The EFF supports the idea of "information fiduciary" rules: "When you give your personal information to an online company in order to get a service, that company should have a duty to exercise loyalty and care in how it uses that information. "

This sounds nice, but it is fundamentally inadequate in the US because of the PAT RIOT Act, which allows the FBI to take all that company's data at any time. In addition, it is weak, because it depends on the company's good faith in interpreting "loyalty and care".
