That's a step forward, but not a solution. There are so many firms collecting data on everyone. There should be something similar to a "National no call list".

That's a step forward, but not a solution. There are so many firms collecting data on everyone. There should be something similar to a "National no call list". If you register there, all firms should delete your information or face consequences.
- radicaldreamer 2y agoUnfortunately this will be used to discriminate against people when applying for a loan or a job, so we must make it illegal to discriminate when these data brokers return nothing for a search because someone has opted-out.
- nickff 2y agoIf you’re going to make it illegal for anyone to use the data broker information to make decisions, you should just ban the data brokers from existing.
- anon373839 2y agoBingo. This is clearly the answer. However, law enforcement buys from data brokers, so it will never happen.
- hdkwnwnen 2y agoThis is the crux of the issue. The ever evolving police apparatus would never give up such a thing. The people who write the laws and their spook handlers want to increase data collection, if anything. Does anyone else feel like we are slipping into a Dark Mirror episode? I fear that nothing will be sacred soon.
- wyre 2y agoI thought the whole premise of Dark Mirror was that we are slipping into a Dark Mirror episode.
- Arrath 2y agoIdeally, yes.
- jjtheblunt 2y agoFirms don't seem to face consequences for violating the no-call list, as people notice FCC does not seem to stop spam calls or texts.
- ethbr1 2y agoIt ebbs and flows. Afaik, most of the spam calls and text tend to "leak" through over international agreements, until the carriers block them.
- weikju 2y agoso register in a central database to not be registered in a bunch more central databases? Then the one "do not collect data" list will be leaked over and over?
- faeriechangling 2y agoThe national do not call list isn’t effective so I can’t advocate for another one as a solution UNTIL the first implementation is fixed.

- celdon25 2y agoThis is not a partisan issue.
- ranger_danger 2y agoIt's also not a guarantee anything was ever really deleted. What about offsite/physical backups? Seems highly impractical.
