The United States Justice Department has ordered Monsanto to provide the data about its dominance in the genetically modified seed industry. A civil investigation will/or has taken place. This is a formal request for certain information. This is all due to provide a collective data inquiry into competitive practices in the seed industry. (Tomich)
Thomas L. Greaney, a law professor at St. Louis University, said civil investigative demands like those recieved by Monsanto represent the second step in an antitrust investigation and are used by goevernment lawyers to obtain specific documents, depositions and internal memoranda that the company wouldn't voluntarily hand over and that could be useful in preparing an antitrust case. (Tomich)
My question in this case would be, does this infringe on the company's first amendment rights in the terms of privacy? Why is a violatin o0f privacy here not an issue if the company is not doing any harm?
