The GDPR type laws seem to imply that information can't ever really be sold, since consent is always revokable, and can't be required as a condition of using the service.
I have a bit of an issue with that, since one generally expects that they can license any data they own, and it makes things like model releases confusing.
And the laws seem to define new private spaces that formerly didn't have expectation of privacy for most people.
But perhaps it's necessary anyway to prevent even bigger issues.
I can definitely see the problem with a cell company being able to sell data to someone's abusive stalker, even though in general I don't like censorship of observation, for the same reason I don't like ag-gag.
