While the map demonstrates a clear skew towards US (and to some degree, EU) data brokerages (likely because these are difficult to map in non-US/EU contexts, or more dire, the existing lack of oversight), regulatory differences between regions will simply push their operations elsewhere, if not already. That said, the compensation scheme as proposed would likely need government mandate, and I am all for a solution that lies halfway between the public, markets and government.

>simply push their operations elsewhere, if not already. This is true of any regulation, and its sort of a tired trope. We don't make CP legal simply because its currently being pushed to regions with less regulation. Adding a higher barrier to entry and more difficult operations does reduce the amount out there, and while there would absolutely still be data brokers moving to deregulated regions, this imposes a significant cost and obstacle so that there would a much smaller market of availability and also a clear signal for companies wanting to do business with these brokers that they risk their own legitimate business by engaging with them.
