Companies just have way too much data about people.
It should be illegal to store/compile data that isn’t directly related to the good, services or products that you’re offering.
We’re getting to the point where everything about you, down to your real-time location, is available to anyone with enough money. That’s just not a power that we should allow to go unregulated.
We really need a non profit that buys data on politicians and Billionaires and then just make an app for people to follow them around and harass them to get this banned.
