| Jan 29, 2017 at 15:14 | comment | added | gowenfawr | @Kevin everything you say is true. I will point out, however, that the major difference between Federal and State law on Wiretapping is the party-consent argument; Federal is one-party and some states are all-party consent required. But even by that stricter yardstick, workplace monitoring where both the employer and the employee have consented (...via banner) would be permitted. | |
| Jan 29, 2017 at 15:12 | comment | added | gowenfawr | @Mehrdad you could go to small claims and sue for credit monitoring. You could sue for emotional distress. Filing a lawsuit is easy; filing one that's got a chance to win is harder, and thus my comment that it would be costlier than its worth. To be clear, it's not an option I was recommending or validating. | |

| Jan 29, 2017 at 11:52 | comment | added | user541686 | You could file a lawsuit? For what? You haven't suffered any damages, and if someone had stolen your card number you wouldn't have been responsible for the charges. It's literally none of your business if they're violating their agreement with the credit card company. I don't see what grounds you have to sue anybody. | |
| Jan 29, 2017 at 6:59 | comment | added | Kevin | @gowenfawr: To be fair, the US has a complicated mess of jurisdictional issues between the feds and the states (and the counties, and in some cases the municipalities), so specifying which jurisdiction you actually want is more complicated than in some countries (and if you say "the American government," people yell at you that the US is not America, and then assume you're talking about the feds). There are other federal republics, of course, but Americans are particularly lazy. | |
| Jan 29, 2017 at 3:37 | comment | added | gowenfawr | @LightnessRacesinOrbit because most Americans never feel the need to specify; the rest of the world is generally better about it. If it's possible to do so, I'm recognizing the popular bias but not suggesting any legitimacy to it. | |
| Jan 28, 2017 at 17:19 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | "I'll assume "Government" == "US" since it's NOS." Why is US the default case? | |
| Jan 27, 2017 at 20:53 | comment | added | Darren Ringer | Credit card issuers typically have an online form where you can report noncompliance. This includes things like a minimum transaction amount required to use a card (this is prohibited), and quite likely the situation described here by the OP. | |
