So did the credit reporting agencies until laws were passed requiring them to give people access, and a path to correct inaccurate info.
Now these are hardly perfect, but I think this idea needs to be expanded to all companies that store PII about you.
For example I do not have a Facebook account, but I am sure they have data about me, I have no way of ascertaining what info they have, or the accuracy of the info, and they could in time be selling that inaccurate info to agencies or other parties that could impact my life in some manner.
Facebook is hardly the only one, and actually is far from the most egregious when it comes to the potential of screwing up your life. There are many companies most people have never heard of that take data from all kinds of sources, some with out any kind of actual verification and compile massive databases on people for sell to anyone.. Stalkers, Creditors, Employers, etc etc etc.
