This should be the law everywhere. The US, on the other hand, believes it is OK to provide ALL your personal information to big companies, see the debacle of Equifax that exposed data from most Americans to hackers throughout the world.
- 24gttghh 9y agoI hate to defend the credit agencies, but I believe you are referring to Equifax who had the enormous leak of "customer" data earlier this year, not Experian.
- coliveira 9y agoThanks, fixed it.
- pitaj 9y agoUnpopular opinion: information should not be the property of anybody. You don't own your data, you own what it is stored on. Copyright, Patents, and other IP law is invalid application of property rights and nobody should be able to say how anybody uses data they possess with the exception of preemptive contractual agreements.
- tomaskafka 9y agoOK. Here's a public album of your home porn on imgur, it has 0.5 M views today. No recourse for you. Happy?
- abritinthebay 9y agoIt’s... an opinion. One that doesn’t make a ton of sense once you follow it through everywhere, practically speaking, but as an ideological point... sure, I get it.
- pitaj 9y agoCan you give a few examples of it not making sense practically? I understand the reasoning behind patents and copyright, but in practice they are abused and at this point almost dead anyways.
