Why is this data even being allowed to sell? Isn't this private data? Okay, i understand selling users data is pretty common here but i thought it was limited to "someone liking icecream or someone liking ford better than honda". but legally selling tax identifiers seems too much!

It should not be sold. But it is.

Consumers are the product.

Our voting records and DMV records are also often sold by your state or even local city government.

Could not gisagree more. Nobody can harm me much by knowing my ITIN. But government surely can torture me in prison by depriving me of my favorite ice cream brand. I have a right to keep it private!
