The sale of personal data is a lucrative sideband business for many companies. They discovered this asset, and they’re monetizing it. It’s akin to finding oil on your ranch.
The solution is to turn that asset into a liability. Add unlimited downside (corporate death) for a company that loses control of personal data that they’ve harvested. Turn that oil into radioactive. waste.
