Most Americans condemn the practice, and two thirds think the federal government should be doing more to regulate it. Many Americans are concerned about their own identities being stolen. Most Americans believe that the right to privacy in general in this country has been compromised. 52% think the right to privacy is under serious threat, and another 30% think it has already been lost. Only 16% think it is still safe. SNIP -- Leo G.
