The headline is completely misleading and actually understated the problem. One California mall developer is sharing their license plate data with one third party company which may or may not be sharing this data with other parties. This is worse because
1) companies have gotten so big that one company can control a huge number of shopping malls
2) huge-scale data collection and transmission is so easy/cheap that one decision by one person can affect the privacy of hundreds of thousands of people
3) the “service” model of software delivery makes it much harder to know what is or isn’t being done with the data that you’re generating by using that software
