How easy would it be for a company to source contact and location information about everybody in a State?
Easy to find? Sure. That’s a bit different than the local governments selling my information that I’m legally required to give them though. This is shady bullshit.
- tombert 7y agoFair enough. I really don't exactly know where we should draw the line of "governments selling stuff for supplemental funding". I'm definitely against them aggregating and selling my data, and my immediate visceral reaction is "the government shouldn't sell anything", but I don't think realistically any harm comes from a teacher having a bake sale to pay for additional school supplies. A teacher at a public school is technically a state government employee, just like DMV workers. That said, a line does need to be drawn; I guess it's up for the philosophers to figure out where that line needs to be.
