This so much. The stream of corporations passing the buck into a black hole of irresponsibility needs to end now. If people arent held responsible, they will continue to make these failings without pause. I hope everyone is writing their legislators and congresspeople right now. They listen more than even my disillusioned self thought. The just might have bigger incentives to act otherwise. But if they dont know, they cant even choose to be corrupt or not, they are ignorant by proxy. Communicate to your leaders, and remember their response when you vote.

The only real solution here is that we need consumer privacy laws similar to Germany's-- not more scrutiny of those who participate in the PII trade.

There is no reason beneficial to consumers to be collecting intelligence of this nature.
