Data Broker Helps Police See Everywhere You’ve Been with a Mouse Click
- scohesc 4y agoIs there any way someone like you or I could search ourselves in this database? Would be interested to see exactly what data they have on me. That and so I can request they remove it - not that that's actually happening.
- 1659447091 4y agoI have theorized that perhaps one of the best ways to reduce this kind of thing is to require that all data gathered on everyone be made publicly available for anyone to freely search from a single centralized location/portal. With the data pulled up having the source it was gathered from, and possibly an email sent to whatever gathered email is included when new data is added to the portal. But I too would very much like a way to search for myself to see what they have collected.
- foxyv 4y agoI wish these data brokers had to adhere to the same data collection and distribution standards as FCRA regulated credit agencies and GLB regulated banks. It blows my mind that you have huge amounts of regulation on financial data but almost zero on these tech companies that collect every intimate detail about your life.
