> I don’t think SNAP/WIC recipients should have any less right to privacy around their grocery purchases than you or I do. That is great if you want to protect the privacy of the businesses, but businesses disclosing the total they make from these programs has nothing to do with privacy of individuals. If Amazon and Whole Foods had to disclose they made $1B each from SNAP last year, there is clearly no privacy concerns linked to individuals involved. There is absolutely no information of the individuals involved. Not even the industry has attempted to make privacy arguments, which again are publicly available if you wanted to learn about it and are limited to concerns of being “stigmatized” if the public learns how much the businesses make from these programs and fear that disclosures would hurt negotiations with landlords.
