On the surface, this sounds like a great idea (I certainly would pay for such a service)...But wouldn't that create an incentive for the data brokers to double-dip, and sell YOUR data to existing ad/marketing/scammer customers, PLUS sell YOU your OWN data? (I should caveat, I'm having a "pessimist day" today, so even sunshine and rainbows aren't as pretty today as they normally are.) |

Yeah, sounds like credit bureaus :).
With the shear quantity of data analysis that goes on behind the scenes and affects citizens, I think we need a much better handle on transparency. We already have some level [inadequate IMO] of control over the established credit bureaus, I think that should be expanded to all data brokers that sell personal data like this. If I can't keep it from being sold, then I should at least be able to see what it is and make sure it's accurate.
Maybe it's time to look into how to pollute the data set instead.
