- micromacrofoot 1y agodata brokers, absolute scum of the earth imo though
- amelius 1y agoWhy they aren't banned is beyond me. Well, perhaps the article explains it. Meanwhile, so called "privacy watchdogs" are toothless.
- advisedwang 1y agoIn general no. Databrokers are not interesting in doing retail, and especially not interested in transparency.
- kevin_thibedeau 1y agoCalifornia residents can force the data broker mafia to delete their records.
- aspenmayer 1y agoHow do you prove a negative, legally?
- jandrewrogers 1y agoThis is not a retail industry. Companies are created for the specific customers they intend to serve. I can't imagine there being enough revenue to justify creating a company for retail customers, you'd have to deal with a company like Lexis-Nexis. Many of these companies don't know the identity of the people to which the data pertains.
