While I think this data should just be considered private, the reasons that a business would have for purchasing it worry me less than the reasons the government would buy it. Yes, both entities could abuse the data, but corporations also have the usual scummy profit based use as well. The data collection companies say that they only sell to vetted clients. I agree that trying to make selling to the government illegal would be a poor move, but they should consider voluntarily barring government organizations in an attempt to prevent this becoming a bigger issue and laws being made to stop it
