Semi rhetorical question: is it too late to introduce legislation protecting this kind of private data? Discussion point one: is the industry profiting from gathering, shifting, mining, selling this data large enough that it would cause an employment problem for any country that may enact such legislation? (probably a much bigger problem for the US than any other country). Discussion point two: is it likely that, even if the legislation doesn't have favouritism carve-outs for specific groups/companies, the industry would find ways around it, with the end game being: nothing changes.
