Yet another example of why privacy never really existed and the Third Party Doctrine was terrible for civil rights protections.
Perhaps the move towards SBOM will help us identify which libraries sell position location to which brokers so there can be more transparency and competition for privacy features.
It’s sad that legislators are asleep at the wheel here and that the FTC / State Attorneys General are so slow to sue.

- thephyber 4y ago“By design” implies someone set out with that intention. My belief is that incentives are aligned so no state actor has significant reason to change the status quo.

- thephyber 4y agoYeah, I suppose the data broker ecosystem is so incestuous it would be hard to know/disambiguate the path of data flow without more transparency in of the data broker APIs/contracts.
