It seems anti-free speech. If the same thing were done via physical media, would we still support this? I am definitely no fan of data brokers, but I also am no fan or suppressing speech. This seems like the equivalent of banning old phone books before the internet.

I know that's not always convenient but I think to do anything different starts to set bad legal precedents which will not be in favor of the public.
