π€¬ At this point Iβm not surprised, data brokers donβt need to exists, period. There is no such thing as privacy anymore. You gotta have a vpn just to surf. You gotta buy your own plot of land to have your own food. Like WTH!

The NSA isn't the root of the problem, it's the fact that data brokers are literal doxxing companies. Their sole purpose is to dox people for profit.
Unfortunately, stopping data brokers is just like stopping piracy, it's almost impossible. As long as there is a single country where it's legal then data brokers will continue to steal and sell personal data to whoever wants it.
i dont get it, isnt that pretty well known already?
I don't want anyone to have it, but I definitely don't want everyone to have it except the NSA.
why spy when you can buy?
