> It's not a sale of information to a third party. It's the sale of a business and transferring the business to the first party. Suppose I let you borrow my car, on the condition that you not allow your son to drive it. When the car gets totaled, you tell me that you gave the keys to your spouse, and they were the one who let your son drive it. So I have no reason to be angry at you, because you didn't directly hand the keys to him. If you draw an imaginary line around some of the people and assets in a company, declare that the data belongs within that imaginary line, and then say everything inside that imaginary line is being sold, that's the same sort of shell game. > Is there anything noteworthy going on here, or are we just confused/pretending to be confused about the world and looking to put a spin on it? Yes. There's a lie being told that "selling a business" and getting customer data along with it is somehow distinct from "selling data".
