I find this hysterical, especially since Texas was "hacked" and all 28 million residents at the time had their entire Driver License info stolen (Name, address, DL #, age, height). Nothing was done [1].

- TehCorwiz 4y agoI think the major distinction between your example and the article is: voluntary vs involuntary. Texas did not intentionally give away their data, it was exposed due to an attack from a third-party. Google is willfully collecting cross-referenced location, image/video, and personal profile data.
- jonas21 4y agoGoogle has not given their data away at all, voluntarily or involuntarily, except when compelled to by court order. Texas did voluntarily give their data to a third-party, the insurance software company Vertafore, who then inadvertently exposed it publicly.
- prvit 4y agoTexas does indeed intentionally sell this data to a number of companies.
- calculatte 4y agoI don't find that hysterical. Both cases are wrong and should not happen. People turning such stories into political issues is how they keep getting away with it.
