"...goes against the "laws" that people should have both control and consent
for where PII goes."

BTW, this is another good example that it is not a good idea building the

Since OpenID is being developed by the people for the people (at least is
not a Corporation initiative), it should consider very seriously those
issues....

OpenID, for the people by the people.     ;-)
