I really don't get all the fuss.
Edit: should clarify. I get the fuss from those that want all their info private, from everyone. What seems weird is that of all the groups who know everything about us, security folks are the ones people seem most upset about.

Of course companies hold on to all our private info. That is the nature of the world we live in.
The government having access to that information should be governed by the judicial branch though, and that is obviously not happening.
This is a very serious problem. The guy releasing the information, obviously at the risk of being charged with treason sees it as such too. Sad that you don't.
