The law that would have prevented this breach would be to make it illegal for telcos to sell customer data. The reason AT&T was feeding ALL the data to Snowflake was to sell their customer's location and social graph to marketers. It is unconscionable to me that this in not currently the law.

Joseph Cox is basically the only investigative journalist that digs into constant PII violations before the leaks happen.
