We hold our personal information, such as credit and medical records, in high regard, but these just represent meaningless pieces of data to workers overseas.

For example, India, China, the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia lack any general data-protection laws at all, yet they are all fast-growing providers of outsourcing services to U.S. companies. At the same time, foreign workers clearly do not share the same pay scales U.S. workers have when it comes to the protection of our personal information.
